Subject field(s)
  • Types of Glass
  • Prosthetic Dentistry
  • Bones and Joints
DEF

A bioactive implant material used in the repair of [teeth and] bone defects.

CONT

Silicon, calcium, sodium and phosphorus, the elements contained in bioactive glass, are released, but only if the proper mixture is used. Minerals are then added to the surrounding surfaces to form a hydroxyl apatite(HA) layer that resembles the mineral structure of the bone tissue. At the same time, this facilitates regeneration of bony tissue and this contributes towards accelerating the healing process.

OBS

bioglass: originally a trademark name that is now used as a common name.

OBS

Since "bio-glass" is a shortened form of "biological glass", it cannot be a spelling variant of "bioglass."

DEF

Verre où une partie de la silice est remplacée par les composants naturels de l'os ou de la dent, ce qui favorise la formation de liaisons chimiques entre le verre et l'os ou la dent.

CONT

Les verres bioactifs ont la propriété de se lier à l'os vivant. La condition essentielle pour la création de ce lien est la formation in vivo d'une couche d'apatite à la surface du matériau.

CONT

Le Bioglass 45S5 de Hench, qui contient en plus des 3 composantes de nos verres du phosphore, est connu pour être actuellement le bioverre le plus actif. Il a été étudié dans les mêmes conditions comme élément de comparaison. À sa surface, de l'apatite cristallisée commence à se former au bout de 12 heures. Ce verre est donc légèrement plus bioactif que les composés du système ternaire étudié.

Human acidic fibroblast growth factor(FGF) is perhaps the broadest specificity mitogen known. It stimulates a variety of cell types to divide. It also is chemotactic for many cell types(i. e. responsive cells migrate towards the source of the growth factor). Particularly responsive are vascular endothelial cells, thus FGF is also a potent angiogenic factor(causes the growth of blood vessels.). FGF plays a role in all stages of life. In embryogenesis, for example, FGF is important in organogenesis(the development of organs). In an adult, FGF is important in the wound healing process. Furthermore, aberrant regulation of FGF or its receptor(s) appears to be responsible for certain tumors within the brain and breast.

Therapeutic touch... is based on the belief that there is an energy field radiating outward almost five centimetres from the body. The flow of energy can be fast, slow, congested, pulsating, pounding, quiet or tangled. An experienced practitioner can feel and access [this] energy and... use rhythmic hand strokes above the skin's surface to smooth the energy field to a rhythm of harmony. Therapeutic touch is being used in delivery rooms, palliative care units and AIDS hospices. The College of Nurses of Ontario has recognized it as a healing strategy. [It is] not a cure and is only used as a complement to traditional medical treatment....
