Bioceramics, recognized for their exceptional bioactivity, have become integral in applications across medicine, surgery, dentistry, and tissue engineering. Their inherent biocompatibility, combined with both osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, offers significant advantages over traditional graft materials in bone regeneration therapies. This review specifically focuses on ceramics, glasses, and glass-ceramics applied within bone tissue engineering, emphasizing porous scaffold systems. These materials not only provide mechanical support but also actively stimulate healing by facilitating cell migration, tissue integration, and the exchange of nutrients and metabolic products. In this paper, the structural properties, clinical applications, and recent advancements in these biomaterials are critically examined, with particular emphasis on enhancing mechanical strength, bioactivity, and antiseptic functionalities.
