Abstract: 
Nanotechnology has recently emerged as a rapid growing field with various biomedical science applications. With all types of nanoparticles, silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) have been used in medicine and dentistry due to their antimicrobial property. In dentistry, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been incorporated into biomaterials to enhance their property and clinical efficiency. In this article, we discuss about the role of nanoparticles in dentistry and application of nanoparticles in prosthodontics.
