A biologically active glass has a composition containing substantially 20 to 40 mole% CaO, 40 to 60 mole% SiO 2, and 10 to 20 mole% MgO. The glass has a high biological activity and good mechanical strength. Furthermore, a sintered calcium phosphate glass is provided which contains the biologically active glass as a sintering aid. The calcium phosphate glass has excellent biocompatibility and mechanical strength. |
