Fluorapatite glass-ceramics are osteoconductive. and glass-ceramics containing fluorapatite crystals in a bioactive silicate glass matrix can combine the benefits of fluorapatite with the bone-regenerative properties of bioactive glasses. High phosphate content (around 6 mol% P2O5) bioactive glasses (SiO2-P2O5-CaO-Na2O-CaF2) were prepared by a melt-quench route. Structural investigation using density measurements and calculations confirmed the presence of phosphorus as orthophosphate. Upon heat treatment, the glasses crystallised to mixed sodium calcium fluoride orthophosphates (sodium-containing compositions) and fluorapatite (sodium-free composition). Fluoride suppressed spontaneous crystallisation, allowing formation of glass-ceramics by controlled crystallisation. A notable feature is that silicate network polymerisation and network connectivity did not change during crystallisation, resulting in orthophosphate and fluorapatite crystals embedded within a bioactive glass matrix. By keeping the phosphate content high and the sodium content low, fluorapatite glass-ceramics can be obtained, while not affecting the structure of the bioactive silicate glass phase.
