ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of this study were to retrieve and review studies that incorporated nanosilver with GIC and summarise the evidence regarding the properties of nanosilver-modified GIC. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Two independent researchers performed a literature search using the keywords (nanosilver OR nano-silver OR (nano silver) OR (silver nanoparticles)) AND (GIC OR (glass ionomer cement) OR (glass ionomer cements)) in PubMed, Web of Science and ScienceDirect.RESULTS:
A total of 368 articles were identified. After removing duplicate results, titles and abstracts were screened for eligibility. Full texts of publications that investigated the manufacture and properties of nanosilver-modified GIC were retrieved and analysed. Finally, 21 studies were included.CONCLUSIONS:
All of the studies reviewed in this investigation included the incorporation of nanosilver in GIC. The proportions of nanosilver added into GIC varied from 0.05 % to 50 %. Thirteen studies investigated the antimicrobial properties of nanosilver-modified GIC; all studies supported that adding nanosilver enhanced antimicrobial effectiveness. Nineteen studies reported the mechanical properties including compressive strength, flexure strength, tensile strength, and microhardness of nanosilver-modified GIC; but the results were inconclusive. Four studies tested the bonding strength of nanosilver-modified GIC to dentine and found that adding nanosilver would not influence the bonding property of GIC. Some studies explored fluoride release level, colour stability, and cytotoxicity of nanosilver-modified GIC; but the results were all inconclusive. CLINICALSIGNIFICANCE:
This literature review is the first study to retrieve and summarise the findings and evidence regarding nanosilver-modified GIC research. It can provide clinicians with clinically relevant information about novel GIC materials that can be used in their treatment decisions.
