Abstract

A variety of bioactive materials have been investigated as substitute materials for diseased or damaged bone tissues in dentistry. The aim of this study was to prepare mesoporous silica containing biomaterials by sol-gel technology. These materials may be combinated with hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate, as bioactive agents. The synthesis and testing of important physical parameters were performed. Based on these measurements, the silica aerogel can be an applicable material in the dental field in the future.
