    Purpose Bioactive glass (BG) spheres with uniform shape and specific size variation are allowed to be packed into a 3D arrangement, which results in an open porosity that improves bone growth. Methods BG-58S macrospheres were produced using BG powder synthesized by alkali-mediated sol–gel process and different phosphorus precursors (TEP or phosphoric acid-AF). Macrospheres (MAF-1 M, MAF-2 M, MTEP-1 M, and MTEP-2 M) were characterized as to surface morphology and size, theoretical density, and specific surface area/pore size distribution. In vitro bioactivity was evaluated in simulated body fluid (SBF). In vitro tests were conducted (for MAF-2 M and MTEP-2 M) as cell viability, total protein content, determination of alkaline phosphatase, cell adhesion by means of SEM, and mineralization nodules formation compared to commercial product (BG-45S5). Biological performance was verified through histological and histomorphometric analyses around the samples: BG-45S5, MTEP-2 M, and control (clot). Results All physicochemical characterizations demonstrated favorable macrospheres for application in bone grafting. MTEP-2 M and MAF-2 M showed higher cell viability and total protein content when compared to BG-45S5 with a statisti- cal difference (p < 0.05); however, no statistical difference was detected among the groups regarding the determination of alkaline phosphatase (p > 0.05). Cells adhered to the surface were observed for all samples as well as nodules of minerali- zation. The results referring to in vivo biological assays showed no statistical difference between the experimental groups MTEP-2 M, BV45S5, and clot control in the two periods evaluated (p > 0.05). Conclusion The method used in this study was able to prepare macrosphere bioglass, and this material seems to be a promis- ing biomaterial to improve bone tissue regeneration.

    Calcium aluminate cement blended to bioactive glass and strontium: in vitro and in vivo evaluation studies

    Homogeneous calcium aluminate cement–based (CH) materials hold potential as biomaterials, while bioactive glass (BG-58S) is a promising bone regeneration material with excellent bioactivity. Strontium, known for stimulating bone tissue regeneration, was incorporated into CH-BG-58S blends to enhance bioactivity, osteogenesis, and bone tissue repair. Methods Blends with only BG-58S were evaluated for viscosity, injectability, and workability. In vitro tests were performed using MG63 cells and in vivo tests utilized blends CH-7.5BG-58S and CH-7.5BG-58S/Sr to fill monocortical critical bone defects. Bactericidal capacity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was also evaluated. The addition of BG to CH increased viscosity, decreased injectability, and improved workability. Results All blends were non-cytotoxic, and CH-7.5BG-58S and CH-10BG-58S blends exhibited bactericidal capacity against E. coli. Osteogenic activity, confirmed by mineralization nodule formation, was observed in all blends. Histomorphometric and histological analyses revealed bone neoformation, with emphasis on SrO-containing groups, but without statistical significance among groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion This research highlights the potential of CH-BG-58S blends, particularly those with strontium, as bioactive materials for bone tissue engineering.
