Glasses in the system SiO 2 -CaO-P 2 O 5 -MgO were prepared by the sol-gel method. These glasses featured SiO 2 contents in the range 60-80 mol %, 4 mol % of P 2 O 5 , and a CaO/MgO molar ratio of 4. Because of their composition and surface properties, all the glasses showed in vitro bioactivity, as

✦ Synopsis
Two sol-gel glasses with 80 mol % SiO 2 were prepared in the system SiO 2 -CaO-P 2 O 5 ; the first one had 3 mol% P 2 O 5 in its composition, and the second one was P 2 O 5 free. The in vitro behavior of glasses was studied by soaking them in simulated body fluid for 7 days at 37°C. After the in vitro test, the study by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, electron diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy showed an apatite-like layer had formed on the surface of both glasses. However, for identical soaking time, the apatite crystals formed on the surface of the glass containing P 2 O 5 in the composition were larger. Therefore, the presence of P 2 O 5 in the sol-gel glass composition promotes the crystal growth of the apatite.
