Illness, wound healing, nanotechnology, nanomedicine, nanoparticles, antibacterialAbstract
As a consequence of its distinctive functioning and diverse set of uses, nanotechnology is a discipline that is expanding quickly. To prevent, cure, diagnose, and control illness, nanomedicine examines the potential applications of nanotechnology knowledge and techniques. Silver nanoparticles with a length between 1 to 100 mm are thought to be the most important in this aspect because of their exceptional property, ability that form different nanostructures, incredible group for antibacterial effects, the space for wound healing and other beneficial ability, and efficiency in production. Research analysis the different biological, chemical, and physical techniques for nanoparticles development are explored. The techniques to employ silver nanoparticles as antibacterial substances, anticancer, in dentistry and bone healing promoter, in wound healing supporters are presented. Research examines the purpose of silver nanoparticles in medical therapies and illness management by examining their method of accomplishment, synthesis techniques characterization.
