Dental caries is one of the major diseases of the oral cavity affecting humans worldwide. Different alternatives have been used for its control, but its incidence and prevalence are still high. On the other hand, silver has been used for centuries due to its antimicrobial properties. With advances in nanotechnology, the use and research in nanomaterials has increased, recently, and silver nanoparticles have become an essential part of the dental practice, giving materials physical and chemical improvements in their properties, used for their antibacterial capacity preventing and arresting dental caries. The objective of this review was to examine the use of silver nanoparticles, in the treatment of dental caries in the remineralization of teeth hard tissues, as well as the antimicrobial potential, cytotoxicity, and long-term effectiveness.

银纳米粒子在预防和逮捕龋齿中的治疗用途。

龋齿是影响全世界人类的口腔的主要疾病之一。已经使用了不同的替代方法来控制它，但是它的发生率和流行率仍然很高。另一方面，由于银的抗微生物特性，银已经使用了几个世纪。随着纳米技术的进步，近来纳米材料的使用和研究有所增加，并且银纳米颗粒已成为牙科实践的重要组成部分，使材料的物理和化学性能得到了改善，用于其抗菌能力可防止和抑制龋齿。这篇综述的目的是研究银纳米颗粒在龋齿硬组织再矿化中对龋齿的治疗以及抗菌潜力，细胞毒性和长期有效性。
