A bioactive glass compound is able to bind to bone tissue and promote new bone growth with osteostimulating effects. Various ions, like copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), silver (Ag) and manganese (Mn) have been used previously to enhance pro-osteogenic property. We aim to regenerate the lost alveolar bone with the properties of bioglass along with adding the best properties of lithium and strontium ions as well. The conventional glass melting method was used in the production of bioactive glass. In vitro characterization of the material was done using parameters like XRD, FTIR and AP-BD.
