Abstract

Bioactive glasses hold immense promise for tissue engineering and bone regeneration due to their ability to bond with living tissues and stimulate bone growth. This chapter explores the sol-gel method, a versatile technique offering advantages like lower processing temperatures and superior compositional control, for synthesizing a new bioactive glass composition. We discuss the fundamental principles of sol-gel chemistry and precursor selection for achieving the desired elements in the final glass. The chapter details the design rationale behind the new compositions, targeting the effect of therapeutic ions promotion specific antibacterial and angiogenesis properties and enhancement in bioactivity and osteoblast production. Additionally, the chapter offers a brief overview of in vitro bioactivity assessment methods for evaluating the glass's interaction with physiological fluids. Finally, we discuss the potential applications of the newly developed bioactive glass and propose future research directions for further optimization and exploration of its functionalities.
