Abstract:
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as promising agents in dentistry due to their antibacterial properties. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate silver nanoparticles for use in dental amalgam, focusing on enhancing its antimicrobial efficacy and mechanical properties. Various types of silver amalgam alloys were prepared, including low copper and high copper alloys, each with distinct compositions and setting reactions. The amalgam samples were subjected to testing to evaluate their strength, corrosion resistance, setting time, and biocompatibility. Results revealed that the high copper alloy exhibited superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to low copper alloys. The setting time of the silver amalgam was determined to be 9.50 minutes. Biocompatibility testing indicated that while the silver amalgam was generally biocompatible, it could potentially release small quantities of mercury. Overall, the study highlights the potential of silver nanoparticles in enhancing the performance of dental amalgam, paving the way for improved restorative materials in dentistry.
