A Review: Silver Nanoparticles in Wound Healing (original) (raw)

Wound healing is achieved through a normal biological process in the human body with four precisely and highly programmed phases: Hemostasis, Inflammation, Proliferation, and Restoration. Successful wound healing must occur with the proper sequence of phases and time frame. Interference of many factors like bacterial infection, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and nutrition causing impaired wound healing. This article reviews the recent literature on wound healing ability of antibiotics and metallic nanoparticles. Influence of these factors on repair may lead to better understanding of the combination of antibiotics with different types of metallic nanoparticles to therapeutics that improve wound healing and resolve impaired wounds. Different types of antibiotics were used to release the pressure of infections which obliviously affect the wound healing process. Development of novel and potent bactericidal agents is of great clinical importance due to novel strains of the bacteria and oth...
