Beberapa bahan permukaan reaktif telah menunjukkan kemampuan untuk membentuk ikatan kimia antar muka dengan jaringan sekitarnya melalui serangkaian reaksi biofisika dan biokimia sehingga memicu terjadinya 'fiksasi bioaktif' implan. Bahan bioaktif bisa biostabil (yaitu hidroksiapatit sintetis) atau bioresorbabel (yaitu kaca bioaktif dan keramik kaca).
Beberapa keramik bioaktif seperti kaca bioakti...
