| Abstract Scope |
This mini-review provides a comprehensive overview of bioactive glasses and their pivotal role in bone repair applications. Bone regeneration is a complex process that requires innovative solutions, and bioactive glasses have emerged as promising candidates. We delve into the composition and unique properties of bioactive glasses, highlighting their biocompatibility and controlled ion release mechanisms. Through case studies and examples, we explore their diverse applications in bone repair. While bioactive glasses offer numerous advantages, we also discuss their limitations and challenges, including regulatory aspects and long-term stability. Looking ahead, we identify current research trends and future prospects, underscoring the exciting potential of bioactive glasses in shaping the landscape of bone repair and dental therapies. |
