Bioglass is a resorbable glass material that has been shown to induce osteoblast proliferation as well as bone matrix production in vitro. Its physico-chemical properties have been reported to be suitable for use as an implant coating for arthroplasty. However, Bioglass is a ceramic material that ca

β¦ Synopsis
Recently D. Wheeler et al. published the paper "Effect of bioactive glass particle size on osseous regeneration of cancellous defects." 1 In this publication, the authors discussed in vivo findings generally useful to interpret the effect of bioactive glass (BG) on bone tissue. Specifically, the authors also set out to "histologically and biomechanically compare the 45S5 bioactive glass, produced by US Biomaterials in a wide particle range (USB), to the narrower particle range glass produced by Orthovita (OV)."
The authors are commended for clearly observing that BG, a material first described in the early seventies, 2 can resorb and is not necessarily just surface active. The paper documents an extensive reduction of the size parameters measured for the two particulate materials as a function of implantation time. It used to be that BG was held to be a "bioactive material," dis-
