  4. Abstract:
  5. In the present study, the effects of Sr and Mg were investigated on mechanical and biological properties of 58S bioactive glass (BG). SiO2-P2O5-CaO BG with different contents of Sr and Mg were synthesized via the sol-gel method and immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for several days to explore their biocompatibility. Precise analyses of the BG using X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy showed that the Mg-doped BG containing 8 wt % MgO possessed better biocompatibility. It was also found that mechanical properties of the BG could be improved by increasing the amounts of MgO and SrO. Both 5Sr-BG and 8Mg-BG samples did not exhibit any cytotoxicity while showing high alkaline phosphatase activity in comparison with control specimens. However, the Sr-doped BG sample including 5 wt % SrO demonstrated enhanced bioactivity and biocompatibility. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l
