Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinical application and research status of bioactive glass (BAG) in bone repair. METHODS: The recently published literature concerning BAG in bone repair at home and abroad was reviewed and summarized. RESULTS: BAG has been widely used in clinical bone repair with a favorable effectiveness. In the experimental aspect, to meet different clinical application needs, BAG has been prepared in different forms, such as particles, prosthetic coating, drug and biological factor delivery system, bone cement, and scaffold. And the significant progress has been made. CONCLUSION: BAG has been well studied in the field of bone repair due to its excellent bone repair performance, and it is expected to become a new generation of bone repair material.
