ABSTRACT
Forty patients with chronic suppurative otitis media of the cholesteatomatous type were included in this study. Their open radical mastoid cavity were obliterated using a new bioactive glass powder; 30 of them as a primary procedure at the time of radical mastoidectomy and 10 as a secondary procedure later on. The study aimed to evaluate a new bioactive glass powder [particulates] as an obliterative material in open mastoid cavities. The results of this technique were promising. It was concluded that bioactive glass powder is a safe and effective biomaterial to be used as on obliterative material in open mastoid cavities
