title: Compatibility and long-term stability of glass-ceramic implants.
abstract: The biocompatible and bioactive glass-ceramic material Ceravital, which has been developed, can be adapted to the physiological conditions of the organs by apropriately monitoring its chemical composition. The material exhibits a remarkable long-term stability in in vitro solubility tests and when used as implants in animal experiments.
