Abstract

The effects of two kinds of bioactive glass and two kinds of phosphate-free glass on new bone development induced by demineralized bone matrix (DBM) were studied in the rat abdominal muscle pouch model. After 8 weeks' implantation histomorphometric analysis revealed that the amount of new bone in DBM combined with bioactive glass was comparable to DBM without bioactive glass. DBM grafts combined with phosphate-free glass showed significantly less new bone formation. Scanning electron microscopic examination confirmed that new bone bonded to the surface of bioactive glass. The release of ions from the glass seemed to slow down after new bone had bonded to it. Exclusion of phosphate from a bioactive glass resulted in loss of ability to develop the Ca,P-rich surface layer needed for bone bonding.
