In vitro evaluation of bioactivity of SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Na2O-CaF2-ZnO glass-ceramics

Abstract: Zinc is an essential trace element that stimulates bone formation but it is also known as an inhibitor of apatite crystal growth. In this work addition of ZnO to SiO 2 -CaO-P 2 O 5 -Na 2 O-CaF 2 glass-ceramic system was made by conventional meltquenching technique. DSC curves showed that the addition of ZnO moved the endothermic and exothermic peaks to lower temperatures. X-ray diffraction analysis did not reveal any additional phase caused by ZnO addition and showed the presence of wollastonite and hydroxyapa… Show more

“…The glass network connectivity of unsubstituted glass reduced upon the addition of CeO 2 , which mainly acts as a network modifier. Particularly, the oxygen buffering capacity of ceria is well recognized [23].Cerium oxide as redox-active rare earth ions grown wide interest in the biomedical field owing to its potential therapeutic applications in metabolic bone, cancer and infectious diseases.Whereas, ZnO doing as intermediate ions is a crucial trace element that stimulates bone formation [24,25]. Copper oxide (CuO) is an indispensable ion in the human body aimed at its significant role in the course of angiogenesis and the maturation of blood vessels.…”
