Abstract

Due to their ability to fight off bacteria, viruses, and fungi, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are often utilized in biotechnology. They are created via the use of chemical, physical, and biological processes. AgNPs provide efficient remedies for seven primary problems, including antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, bone healing, bone cement, dental applications, and wound healing, according to a bibliometric review of 10,278 papers from 2010 to 2020. Due to their intriguing characteristics and promise for personalized healthcare, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted a lot of attention in the field of biomedical applications. These nanostructures have the potential to be used as antibacterial agents, drug delivery systems, detection platforms, biomaterials, tissue regeneration agents, and therapeutic alternatives with improved performance. For their development, it is essential to comprehend how their biological interactions and possible harmful consequences work. The inherent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties of AgNPs are discussed in this paper.
