BIOGLASS

Bioactive glasses are novel dental materials that are different from conventional glasses and are used in dentistry. Bioactive glasses are composed of calcium and phosphate which are present in a proportion that is similar to the bone hydroxyapatite. These glasses bond to the tissue and are biocompatible. They have a wide range of medical and dental applications and are currently used in bone grafts, scaffolds, treatment of hypersensitive tooth, orthograde root canal therapy and endodontic microsurgeries.
