ObjectivesTo synthesize and characterize machinable, bioactive glass-ceramics (GCs) suitable for dental implant applications.MethodsA glass in the SiO2–Al2O3–CaO–CaF2–K2O–B2O3–La2O3 system was synthesized by wet chemical methods, followed by calcination, melting and quenching. Crystallization kinetics were determined by differential thermal analysis (DTA). GC discs were produced by cold pressing of the glass powder and sintered using schedules determined by DTA. The crystalline phases and microstructure of GC samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Dynamic Young's modulus (E), true hardness (Ho), fracture toughness (KIC) and brittleness index (BI) were evaluated. Bioactivity was studied by examining the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) on the GC surfaces after soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF). Attachment and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells were assessed in vitro.ResultsMiserite [KCa5(Si2O7)(Si6O15)(OH)F] was the main crystalline phase of the GC with additional secondary phases. Microstructural studies revealed interlocking lath-like crystalline morphology. E, Ho, and KIC values for the GCs were 96 ± 3 GPa, 5.27 ± 0.26 GPa and 4.77 ± 0.27 MPa m0.5, respectively. The BI was found to be 1.11 ± 0.05 μm−0.5, indicating outstanding machinability. An HA surface layer was formed on the GC surfaces when soaked in SBF, indicating potential bioactivity. MC3T3-E1 cells exhibited attachment, spreading and proliferation on GC surfaces, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility.SignificanceWe present a novel approach for the synthesis of miserite GC with the physical and biological properties required for non-metallic dental implant applications.
