Abstract

The effects of two kinds of bioactive glass and two kinds of phosphate-free glass on new bone development induced by dernineralized bone matrix (DBM) were studied in the rat abdominal muscle pouch model. After 8 weeks' implantation histomorphometric analysis revealed that the amount of new bone in DBM combined with bioactive glass was comparable to DBM without bioactive glass. DBM grafts combined with phosphate-free glass showed significantly less new bone formation. Scanning electron microscopic examination confirmed that new bone bonded to the surface of bioactive glass. The release of ions from the glass seemed to slow down after new bone had bonded to it. Exclusion of phosphate from a bioactive glass resulted in loss of ability to develop the Ca,P-rich surface layer needed for bone bonding. contains BMP and other growth factors capable of inducing bone formation when implanted in various sites in laboratory animals [17–19].

Bioactive glasses have several beneficial properties as a bone substitute. The crystal chemistry of the surface formed in in vivo apatite contributes to a high bone bonding rate [6, 8], and the rate of reactivity can be controlled by choice of glass composition [2]. In addition, bonding of glass to soft tissues has been reported [7, 20].

We have previously reported formation of new bone directly on bioactive glass, induced by DBM in rat muscle tissue [13]. In the present study, the effects of four different glasses on new bone formation in DBM were studied in an extraskeletal site.
