title: Interpretation of difficulties in the initial adhesion of bio-active glasses to bone.
abstract: The authors propose a model to explain the initial difficulties in achieving adhesion between bio-active glasses and bone. It is explained that in vitro tests involve biophysical situations which are different, and in many cases very different, from those which take place in in vivo implantation. The model suggests procedures which could be applied to bio-active glasses after the manufacturing process in order to improve their initial adhesion to bone.
