FIGURE 1 DESCRIPTION:
Transmission electron micrograph of interface between glass-ceramic
A–W and rat tibia. The glass-ceramic formed an apatite on its surface
in the living body and bonded to the bone through the apatite layer.

FIGURE 2 DESCRIPTION:
Scanning electron micrograph of apatite formed on silica gel (left) and
titania gel (right) in SBF.

FIGURE 3 DESCRIPTION:
Transmission electron micrograph of cross section of apatite layer formed
on glass-ceramic A–W in SBF.
