Abstract

Abstract In 1969, fifty years ago, a young professor of ceramic engineering created a 4-component glass to be used as a bone replacement material. That material became known as “Bioglass” and more generally as a class of materials known as bioactive glass. Those first experiments conducted by Dr. Larry Hench completely shifted the paradigm of how the biomaterials and medical communities look at the interactions between inorganic materials and tissues in the body. This article will touch on just a few highlights of the development of bioactive glasses and relate those to the concepts of bioactivity and tissue bonding.

50岁的生物玻璃——Larry Hench的遗产和生物活性材料

摘要在50年前的1969年，一位年轻的陶瓷工程教授创造了一种四组分玻璃，用作骨替代材料。这种材料后来被称为“生物玻璃”，更广泛地说是一类被称为生物活性玻璃的材料。拉里·亨奇博士进行的第一批实验彻底改变了生物材料和医学界如何看待无机材料和体内组织之间的相互作用的范式。这篇文章将只涉及生物活性玻璃发展的几个亮点，并将其与生物活性和组织结合的概念联系起来。
