adsorption/desorption measurement. The analysis data confirmed that the glass sample not containing Ag has a completely amorphous structure, while glass samples containing Ag exhibited a pure phase of metallic nano-silver in the glass amorphous phase. All the synthetic glasses have mesoporous structures with particle sizes of less than 30 nm. The addition of silver to the bioactive glass structure in general did not drastically reduce the specific surface areas and pore volumes of glasses as in previous studies. The bioactivity of the silver-incorporated glasses did not reduce, and even increased in the cases of bioactive glass containing 3, and 10 mol% of Ag
