“…The first study assaying the deposition of bioactive SBG layers by RF-MS has been published only in 2003 by Mardare et al [358]. Following this peripheral attempt, there can be identified in the main scientific data bases (e.g., Web of Science ® , Scopus ® , Pubmed ® ) significant research efforts devoted by the groups led by Jansen and van den Beucken [359,361,370,371,372], on SBG—hydroxyapatite mixed layers, and Stan and Ferreira [151,304,307,308,309,310,311,312,313,362,363,373,374], (on pure SBG thin films, with only isolated trials published by Slav et al [360] and Saino et al [364]. Recently, Stuart et al [375,376,377,378,379] debuted a series of studies on the preparation by RF-MS of resorbable phosphate bioglass (PBG) thin films that are capable of releasing various therapeutic (e.g., antimicrobial) ions in a fast, but controllable manner.…”
