Applications of nano-bioglass in tissue engineering

A bioactive implant that encourages bone regeneration is called Bioglass®. In an aqueous environment, this material experiences a series of surface reactions that lead to the formation of a surface layer of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA). The formation of this layer and the release of soluble silica are responsible for the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts on the glass surface. It has been shown that Particulate Bioglass® significantly reduces oral microbes, especially those connected to periodontal and caries diseases. The antibacterial characteristic of Bioglass® may aid to reduce the risk of bacterial colonisation when it is used in periodontal applications. Nano-bioceramic particles like nano-bioglass (nBG) were inserted into the scaffold to form a biomimetic scaffold that closely resembles the extracellular matrix of bone. Scaffolds with nBG are preferable for orthopaedic and periodontal tissue engineering applications, claim various research.
