Explanation
bioactive glass is a special type of glass, which has the ability to interact with biological tissues and is usually used in medical and biomedical applications. This glass can promote bone repair and regeneration, because it has biocompatibility, can combine with bone tissue, and stimulate specific biological response in vivo. Applications of bioactive glass include orthopedic implantation, dental restorative materials and drug delivery systems.
