Resorbierbare Glaskeramik mit kontrolliertem Aufloesungsvermoegen Abschlussbericht

For the development of rapidly resorbable, long-term stable bioactive glass ceramics as new implant materials, the system CaO-P_2O_5-K_2O-Na_2O-MgO(-SiO_2) has been reinvestigated. Starting from CaNaPO_4, glassy-crystalline materials of higher solubility than hydroxylapatite and #alpha#-tricalcit phosphate have been obtained. As main phases Ca_4MgNa_5(PO_4)_5, MgKPO_4 and Ca_2KNa(PO_4)_2 have been isolated and characterized. Solubility rates of the materials were determined by screening tests. Biological compatibility was tested in vitro as well as in vivo experiments.
