This study prepared glass ionomer cement (GIC) containing nanoporous silica (NPS) (GIC–NPS) at 5 wt% concentrations using 3 types of NPS with different pore and particle sizes and evaluated the differences in their cationic ion capture/release abilities and mechanical properties. The cationic water-soluble dye was used as cationic ion. The test GIC–NPS complexes captured dyes by immersion in 1 wt% dye solutions. All the GIC–NPS complexes released dyes for 28 d, and the amount of dye released from the complexes increased with decreasing pore size; however, the particle size of NPS did not affect the amount of dye released. Additionally, GIC–NPS was able to recharge the dye, and the amount of released the dye by the complexes after recharge was almost identical to the amount released on the first charge. Although not significantly different, the compressive strength of GIC–NPS was slightly greater than that of GIC without NPS regardless of the type of NPS. These results suggest that the degree of capture and release of cationic molecules, such as drugs, can be controlled by optimizing the pore size of NPS without sacrificing its mechanical strength when its content is 5 wt%.
