1. A bioactive implant, comprising
a body formed from polyarylene ether ether ketone (PEEK), wherein said body has an untreated, nonporous interior, and a porous surface layer;
a light curable 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP) resin matrix having an implant contacting surface applied to at least a portion of the porous surface layer of said body, and having a site contacting surface spaced away from the porous surface layer of said body by a thickness of the light curable 10-MDP resin; and
a plurality of borate glass particles distributed within the light curable 10-MDP resin matrix, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of borate glass particles extend outward from the site contacting surface of the light curable 10-MDP resin matrix such that they are positioned to contact bone at an implant site without being covered by the light curable 10-MDP resin matrix, wherein the plurality of borate glass particles produce calcium and phosphate compounds when exposed to body fluids of a human or other animal.
