Bioglass, with the code name 45S5, contains 45% silica, 24.5% CaO, 24.5% Na2O and 6% P2O5 in weight percent. All of these oxides are mixed together and melted at around 1350℃ to form a homogeneous silica network glass.1 Bioglass possesses fast biological response and fast bioactivity, when implanted in living tissue. Since Hench et alI reported over 35 years ago that the bioglass composition could chemically bind to bone,
