SILVER NANOPARTICLES IN THE TREATMENT OF CARIES IN DECIDUOUS DENTITION: ALTERNATIVES TO DIAMINO SILVER FLUORIDE AND GENETIC IMPACTS

Abstract

The treatment of dental caries in the deciduous dentition can be carried out using products that control the carious process by reducing bacterial activity. Products based on silver nanoparticles have been studied to stop caries disease, without causing tooth darkening. The effects of nanoparticles on the environment and human health are not fully understood, so the aim of this study is to describe the role of diamino silver floride and experimental karyostats and their effects on the expression of BMP-7, TNF-α and TGF-β genes.
