Abstract:
One eyeball of experimental rabbits was enucleated in routine procedure, and then implanted the biocative glass ceramic (BGC). No rejection was observed during the postoperation period. After three months of implantation, they were examined with ultrasound, and a venous-flow-like spectra was detected in the ceramic implant. After six months of implantation, the implans were examined histologically; the ingrowth fibrovascular tissue filled the 90% gaps of the implant. The results suggest that the bioactive glass ceramic implants made in China possess acceptable histocompatibility.
