Abstract The adhesion between bioactive glass and metal is improved by the addition of small amounts of transition ion oxides. Because it is difficult to carry outin vivo tests to check with continuity, chemical information about the interactions of the different doped glasses with living tissues, the behaviour of the different doped bioactive glasses in a liquid simulating physiological conditions was studied. Chemical and EPR analyses show that the mineralization phenomena around the bioglasses in the tissues also take place at an inorganic level. This simulation shows that the ions released from the different vitreous systems are correlated with the adopted doping. In particular an increase in doping with iron involves a decrease in the release rate of the other ions. Furthermore the doping agents allow a control of the release rate and consequently the obtainment of the best biological adaptability.
