The demanding for bioactive materials to repair or regenerate bone has being growing fast. Silicate-based bioactive materials have attracted much attention in the last ten years due to their excellent biological response in vitro and in vivo. This chapter introduces the design methods for silicate-based bioglass and silicate-based ceramics materials. Strategies about structure design and composition design for these two types of materials and the subsequent enhanced properties of the designed materials have been introduced in detail.
