Description
Maruri-Casas leads a team reviewing silver nanoparticles in medical and dental plastics in a 2025 paper. Adding these particles can give devices an active germ barrier. The review followed standard reporting rules and covered a decade of work.
From hundreds of records, a small set of studies met the rules. Plastics with silver particles cut microbe loads for key bacteria and a fungus, and released silver ions in a controlled way. Harm to cells was generally low. Common uses included catheters, dentures, dressings, and orthodontic resins. Study methods varied a lot, and clinical trials were few. The authors call for long-term clinical proof of safety and benefit.
