Abstract
This review article provides an in-depth exploration of the role of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the field of dentistry, focusing on their remarkable antimicrobial properties and versatile applications. AgNPs have shown significant promise in dentistry, exhibiting potent antimicrobial efficacy against various oral pathogens, bacteria, and biofilms. Studies have compared AgNPs with conventional antimicrobial agents, highlighting their bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, especially at lower concentrations. Furthermore, AgNPs have demonstrated their potential in inhibiting biofilm formation, eradicating established biofilms, and enhancing the antimicrobial activity of dental materials, such as nanocomposites, acrylic resins, and adhesives. While AgNPs offer substantial benefits, their effectiveness may vary based on specific applications and comparisons with other antimicrobial agents. As the integration of AgNPs into dental practices holds great promise, ongoing research efforts are crucial to addressing safety concerns and optimizing their use for the improvement of oral healthcare.
