“…52 Therefore, researchers proposed using nano silver fluoride to promote the remineralization of enamel and dentin. Studies showed that nano silver fluoride has a remineralizing effect on enamel caries using optical coherence tomography 16,19 and the microhardness test. 20 Also, a clinical study demonstrated that nano silver fluoride is as effective as silver diamine fluoride is in arresting caries.…”

“…13 Seven studies reported the use of nano silver fluoride solution for remineralizing early enamel caries and arresting dentin caries. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Thirty-one studies used resins with silver nanoparticles to prevent caries. Silver nanoparticles were added into restorative materials, such as filling resins and adhesives, to prevent secondary caries.…”

The aim of this concise review is to summarize the use of silver nanomaterials for caries prevention. Methods: Two researchers independently performed a literature search of publications in English using Embase, Medline, PubMed, and Scopus databases. The keywords used were (silver nanoparticles OR AgNPs OR nano silver OR nano-silver) AND (caries OR tooth decay OR remineralisation OR remineralization). They screened the title and abstract to identify potentially eligible publications. They then retrieved the full texts of the identified publications to select original research reporting silver nanomaterials for caries prevention. Results: The search identified 376 publications, and 66 articles were included in this study. The silver nanomaterials studied were categorized as resin with silver nanoparticles (n=31), silver nanoparticles (n=21), glass ionomer cement with silver nanoparticles (n=7), and nano silver fluoride (n=7). Most (59/66, 89%) studies investigated the antibacterial properties, and they all found that silver nanomaterials inhibited the adhesion and growth of cariogenic bacteria, mainly Streptococcus mutans. Although silver nanomaterials were used as anticaries agents, only 11 (11/66, 17%) studies reported the effects of nanomaterials on the mineral content of teeth. Eight of them are laboratory studies, and they found that silver nanomaterials prevented the demineralization of enamel and dentin under an acid or cariogenic biofilm challenge. The remaining three are clinical trials that reported that silver nanomaterials prevented and arrested caries in children. Conclusion: Silver nanoparticles have been used alone or with resin, glass ionomer, or fluoride for caries prevention. Silver nanomaterials inhibit the adhesion and growth of cariogenic bacteria. They also impede the demineralization of enamel and dentin.

“…Despite these disadvantages, the deciduous tooth is more sensitive to fluoride treatments, because its enamel has a higher permeability which is approximately 150 times greater than that of a permanent tooth [ 35 , 75 ]. Since this enamel is more sensitive to acid action, the bactericidal potential of silver will be able to increase the effect of fluoride while preserving the remineralization potential [ 50 ].…”

“…The results showed that the levels of calcium ions, phosphate, and fluoride in the NSF and PPF groups increased significantly compared to SDF [ 48 ]. According to the previous results and with the same procedures, fluorapatite crystals were found on the dentine surface in the SDF and NSF, as well as greater hardness and increased intensity and quality of apatite crystal compounds [ 49 ]; on the other hand, the use of optical coherence tomography images showed a greater remineralization effect of NSF compared to sodium fluoride (NaF) in deciduous teeth [ 50 ].…”

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.

Background: The aim of this study was to perform a comparative evaluation of 5% Sodium fluoride varnish, neutral nano silver fluoride (NSF) varnish and acidulated nano silver fluoride varnish in remineralising artificially induced enamel caries of primary teeth. Methods: 39 primary anterior teeth were sectioned 2mm below the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and mounted in acrylic resin blocks. Incipient enamel caries were induced on the samples artificially and primary Vicker’s surface microhardness (SMH) was assessed. Samples were divided equally and applied varnishes; Group 1: 5% Sodium fluoride varnish; Group 2: Neutral NSF varnish, and Group 3: Acidulated NSF varnish. A pH cycling protocol of 7 days was followed, and second Surface microhardness (SMH) testing was carried out. One sample from each group was observed for Scanning electron microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM EDS). Statistical analysis was conducted using HSD Tukey and one way ANOVA tests. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the pre-treatment and post-treatment values of all three groups. The difference in SMH after applying 5% Sodium fluoride varnish and acidulated NSF varnish was statistically significant (p<0.01). Similarly, neutral NSF varnish and acidulated NSF varnish also showed statistical significance (p<0.01). However, SMH after application of 5% Sodium fluoride varnish and neutral NSF varnish was statistically not significant. The SEM EDS analysis revealed the presence of an even fine granular layer of minerals on the surface of treated enamel in the acidulated NSF group whereas other groups showed uneven deposits of minerals. EDS showed fluoride and silver in groups containing NSF. Conclusions: Acidulated NSF varnish has the highest efficacy followed by neutral NSF varnish and 5% Sodium fluoride in remineralisation of enamel caries in primary teeth.
