Abstract
Bioactive glasses can be used to coat titanium implants to promote osseointegration. However, incorporating elements such as magnesium, zinc and fluoride into bioactive glasses might have a negative effect on bioactivity or the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass. In this study, the impact of substituting MgO for CaO on physical properties and bioactivity of glass containing 1 mol % MgF<sub>2</sub> was assessed. Seven glasses were produced by melt-quenched route. The glasses comprise (SiO<sub>2</sub>, CaO, Na<sub>2</sub>O, MgO, MgF<sub>2</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>O and P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>) and were characterized utilizing XRD, DSC, FTIR and dilatometry analyses. The bioactivity of these glasses was investigated in biological fluids. The results showed that these glasses have wide sintering windows, low TECs and low glass transition and softening temperatures. The bioactive glasses containing up to 13.3 mol% MgO were able to form surface apatite within a short time period; whereas glasses containing ≥16.13 mol% demonstrated only structural variations with no clear sign of apatite precipitation.
