Abstract

Clinically, implant-related bone infections are a serious concern as they reduce the success rate of grafting techniques and increases the risk of morbidity. Clinicians use antibiotics to treat bone grafts. Silver-based components are gaining popularity for their exceptional antimicrobial activity. The current review provides the preparative procedure, characterization methods, and mechanical strength of silver-based composites. Additionally, the assessment includes information on the biocompatibility of silver-based composites and clinical studies for bone tissue engineering. Finally, the review discusses titanium implants coated with silver-based composites, their derivatives, and related studies. Overall, silver-based composites are a potential candidate for bone tissue engineering.
