- 04-February-2021
A new generation of glass like materials has emerged due to rapid technological developments. They are now found worldwide in the form of jewelry, cups, aircraft, windows, windshields, electronics, and decorative household elements.
Glasses are available in several types; however, bioactive glass is expected to overtake the materials market in the coming future due to its revolutionary effects in the field of regenerative medicine.
Bioactive Glass's market has grown with leaps and bounds as it is cost-effective and easy to form. This incredible material can be produced using quite a few techniques. The most commonly used method is based on liquefying classical glass at high temperatures or using chemical reactions like polymerization. As per the synthesis, the bioactive glass that is formed takes on features like porosity and density.
The melting glass technique provides density to the glass, and the chemical reaction method facilitates highly porous bone implantation materials. This can be done with different shapes, sizes, and structures. Over time several bioactive glasses have emerged with a better ability to form bonds with mineralized tissues.
The primary benefit of the material is its bioactivity. This is because implants need to have preserve pulp vitality, antimicrobial properties, and stimulate dentin formation. When the material comes in contact with biological fluids like blood or saliva, different types of structural changes and chemical reactions occur. It leads to the formation of the hydroxypatite mineral layer, which is essential for a mineral building in bones. Its formation on the bioactive glass allows bone tissue to stick with the synthetic material just like the natural one.
Also, because of the chemical and electrostatic interactions between layers, collagen fibers are easily incorporated and attached. Due to all these processes, bioactive glass is integrated, and tissue regeneration is stimulated.
The bioactive glass was the first of its kind that could bond with the living tissue. The sector of bone recovery medicine has seen a boost with the discovery of this material-This is because it enables the regeneration and reconstruction of damaged and lost tissue.
Bioactive glass is used in several sectors and can be found in make-up products like nail paint to interact with nail tissue and make it sturdy. It is used in dentistry to help regenerate enamel and is also found in mouthwash or toothpaste. It is used in aesthetic medicine as well.
This material brings hope to people who suffer from bone diseases and to other surrounding fields as well. However, many challenges need to be overcome, like reliable coatings, redevelopment of self-healing plants, control of ingredients in medical devices, etc.
Despite this, there are significant advantages of using bioactive glass as it has a high superficial speed reaction. Hence, it can be extensively used due to its ability to connect with the tissues rapidly and may very well be the future.
