Abstract

Since the discovery of Bioglass®by Hench, bioactive glasses have been used in many medical applications, such as drug delivery systems, nonload-bearing implants, and bone cements because of their excellent bioactivity and biocompatibility. However, due to their poor mechanical properties, these glasses cannot be used in load-bearing applications, where the metallic alloys are still main materials. One useful approach to solving the mechanical limitations of bioactive glasses is to apply the glasses as the coating on mechanically tough substrates; it was also recognized early that bioactive glasses could be used as coatings for prosthetic metallic implants. In this paper, the mechanism, characterization, and current status of some methods of preparation for bioactive glass coating on implants are introduced. In the end, to get the homogeneous and compact coating with perfect bonding strength, some ideas of improving the performance of coatings are also presented.
