Nanosilver and other forms of silver are widely used nowadays for their antibacterial activity. The different forms of silver, including silver salts, silver oxides and silver materials appearing as silver wires, silver nanopartilces (AgNP) and others, which are used in consumer and medical products, may have different physic-chemical properties such as distinct solubility and surface-to-volume ratio, which all may affect their fate and biological activity. AgNPs display different applications in the field of dentistry owing to their antimicrobial effect. Various evidences has been found for several advantages of using natural or synthetic organic nanostructures in a wide variety of dental fields, from implantology, endodontics and periodontics, to regenerative dentistry and wound healing. This review aims to discuss the current progress in this field, highlighting aspects regarding silver nanoparticles incorporation such as antimicrobial potential, mechanical properties and long-term effectiveness.
