Abstract
In an FOP, a glass bodyis configured by including antimicrobial glass portionsmade of antimicrobial glass containing AgO. Here, the glass containing silver does not have chemical durability, so that it has properties to easily emit Ag ions due to moisture. Ag ions have an excellent antimicrobial effect. Therefore, by configuring the glass bodyto include the antimicrobial glass portionscontaining AgO, the glass bodycan obtain a sterilization effect due to the action of Ag ions. Therefore, the FOPcan be provided with antimicrobial activities.
