The first and most thoroughly studied bioactive glass is known as Bioglass 45S5 and was developed at the University of Florida.Bioglass 45S5 is a multicomponent oxide glass with the following composition (in wt%): 45% SiO2, 24.5% Na2O, 24.4% CaO, and 6% P2O5. The majority of bioactive glasses are based on the same four components and all current bioactive glasses are silicates. Bioactive glasses have a random, two-dimensional sheet-like structure with a low density. This is a result of the relatively low SiO2 content. Bioglass is mechanically weak and has low fracture toughness. Both these properties are related to the glass structure. Bioactive glasses can readily be made using the processes developed for other silicate glasses. The constituent oxides, or compounds that can be decomposed to oxides, are mixed in the right proportions and melted at high temperatures to produce a homogeneous melt. On cooling a glass is produced.Because bioactive glasses are going to be used inside the body it is necessary to use high-purity starting materials and often the melting is performed in Pt or Pt alloy crucibles to minimize contamination. Bioactive glasses have certain properties that are relevant to their application in the body. Advantages There is a relatively rapid surface reaction that leads to fast tissue bonding. There are five reaction stages on the glass side of the interface. The reaction rates and mechanisms at each of the five stages have been determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.Bonding to tissue requires a further series of reactions that are at present not as well defined. But the bonding process starts when biological moieties are adsorbed onto the SiO2-hydroxycarboapatite layer. In addition, E is in the range 30~35 GPa, close to that o
