heal.abstract	In this paper were prepared porous calcium silicate bioactive glasses by the sol-gel method using poly (ethylene) glycol (PEG) as an organic template. The structure of the glasses prepared was investigated by XRD, FTIR and SEM/EDS. The in vitro bioactivity of these glasses was carried out by immersing them in a stimulated body fluid (SBF) at 37°C and pH 7.4 for a reaction time period of 14 days. The results show that the use of the PEG (as pore former) enables the synthesis of porous calcium silicate glasses with excellent bioactivity.	en
