Bioactive glass-ceramics, antibacterial prop-erties, ion release controlAbstract
Bioactive and antimicrobial glass-ceramics have garnered significant interest due to their distinctive attributes, high bioactivity, supreme mechanical strength, and effective antibacterial characteristics. These materials provide extensive application potential in orthopedics and dentistry, mainly where infection control and tissue integration are paramount. The bioactivity of glass ceramics facilitates their integration with human tissues and concurrently suppresses microbial proliferation via processes including ion release, diminishing the likelihood of implant-associated infections. This study seeks to elucidate the creation and implementation of bioactive antimicrobial glass ceramics, emphasizing design concepts, synthesis techniques, antibacterial mechanisms, and biological features of these materials. Specifically, how enhancements in the manufacturing process influence the physical and chemical characteristics of the materials, consequently augmenting their antibacterial efficacy and biocompatibility. Furthermore, the prospective uses of these materials in the biomedical domain, such as their use in bone regeneration, dental implants, and healing wound dressings, will be examined, along with anticipated future development trajectories. As this research continues, bioactive antimicrobial glass-ceramics are anticipated to provide innovative choices for improving the medical safety and biological efficacy of medical implants, therefore improving biomaterial technology.
