<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>An apatite‐ and wollastonite‐containing glass‐ceramic (A · W‐GC) has been reported to form a tight bond with living bone through an apatite layer formed on its surface. This layer is considered to be formed by dissolution of Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> and HSiO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub><jats:sup>−</jats:sup> ions from the glass‐ceramic into the surrounding body fluids. In order to confirm this proposed mechanism for the surface reaction of A · W‐GC, three kinds of glass in the systems CaOSiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, CaOSiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>CaF<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, and CaOSiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>P<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>5</jats:sub> were implanted into the tibiae of rabbits for 3 or 8 weeks. Contact microradiography and SEM‐EPMA showed that all three kinds of glass formed a Ca, P‐rich layer in combination with a Si‐rich layer on their surfaces within 3 weeks and formed a direct bond with bone via these layers. The detaching test, performed 8 weeks after implantation, showed that the loads required to detach the implants from the bone were almost equal for the phosphorus‐free and the phosphorus‐containing glasses. It was concluded that even P<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>‐free CaO · SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> glass formed a Ca,P‐rich layer on its surface and bonded tightly with living bone. If glasses and glass‐ceramics release at least Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> and HSiO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub><jats:sup>−</jats:sup> ions, this would be sufficient for them to form the Ca,P‐rich layer on their surfaces <jats:italic>in vivo</jats:italic>, enabling them to bond directly with bone.</jats:p>
