fabricated by pressureless sintering process. The effect of BG on the sintering ability andmechanical strength of the ceramics, and the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts wereinvestigated. The results showed that the optimum amount of BG was 20wt.% and the samplessintered at 1100oC for 5h revealed a bending strength of 172 MPa, which was approximately2-times higher than that of the pure CaSiO3 ceramics. The cell experiments showed that BGreinforced CaSiO3 ceramics supported osteoblast adhesion and possessed higher proliferation thanthat of the pure CaSiO3 ceramics, which indicated excellent biocompatibility. Our results suggestedthat BG reinforced CaSiO3 ceramics could be potential candidates as bioactive bone implantmaterials
