Selecting appropriate bone repair materials has been an issue in the area of research and development as well as clinical applications. The main concerns are the mechanical strength of the material as well as the biocompatibility of the material. Ca/P(calcium phosphate) ceramic belongs to the group of bioactive ceramic. It has become the central focus of alternative artificial bone research. However, the mechanical strength of Ca/P ceramic has limited its further development. Adding bioglass to Ca/P ceramic has not only increased its mechanical strength, but also improved its bioactivity.
