ABSTRACT
Bioactive glasses have played an increasingly important role in bone tissue regeneration application by virtue of their generally excellent osteoconductivity, osteostimulation, and degradation rate (Chen et al. 2006; Jones et al. 2006, 2007; Hench and Thompson 2010; Misra et al. 2010; Wu, Hill, et al. 2011). The melt-derived bioactive glass, called 45S5® bioglass, was pioneered by Hench (1991, 1998) and was first developed using traditional melt methods
