Nanotechnology has become a cornerstone of innovation in dentistry, offering transformative solutions to longstanding challenges in microbial infection management. Among these innovations, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have gained prominence due to their remarkable antimicrobial properties, biocompatibility, and adaptability to various dental materials. Their nanoscale size allows for targeted interactions with microbial cells, enhancing efficacy and minimizing collateral damage to surrounding tissues. This article delves into the diverse applications of AgNPs in dentistry, from restorative materials to implant coatings, exploring their mechanisms of action and the synergistic benefits they bring. A critical discussion on the balance between their efficacy and potential cytotoxic effects is also presented, highlighting the future prospects of AgNPs in enhancing oral healthcare.
