Both unwanted and induced crystallization can impact bioactivity, physical and mechanical properties of bioactive glasses (BGs). Uncontrolled crystallization has negative consequences, rendering BGs unreliable. However, by manipulating the type, size, shape, and quantity of crystals in BGs, plenty of opportunities arise for controlling, for example, mechanical properties and degradability, leading to unique applications and improved performance. Understanding crystallization is a key step in developing bioactive glasses and glass‐ceramics (BGCs), and both fundamental and experimental research can aid in the design of BGCs for processing and biological function. In this perspective, we discuss the sources of crystallization and how controlled crystallization facilitates the functionalization of bioactive scaffolds, hybrids, coatings, composites, cements, and fibers.
