Popis: The use of synthetic implants for restoration of damaged or diseased bone is associated with risk of bacterial colonization that result in failure of the implant. It is essential for implants to make bond with bone and soft tissue without bacterial infection. The present study is based on evaluation of the antibacterial property of Ta2O5 doped novel glass ceramics having a chemical composition (40-x) SiO2-24.4Na2O-26.9 CaO-6.1CaF2-2.6P2O5-xTa2O5 where x = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 3 mol %. In Vitro antibacterial assays were performed in dark against six common pathogenic bacterial strains; Strep. pyogenes, B. subtilis, Staph. epidermidis, E. coli, Proteus. mirabilis and Pseudomonas. aeruginosa using modified Kirby Bauer method. It was observed that all samples doped with Ta2O5 showed statistically significant (P
