dc.description.abstractSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted significant attention in recent years in diverse fields owing to their broad mechanisms of action. In particular, the wound healing process has become one of the main fields where the therapeutic potential of AgNPs is highlighted. AgNPs can be used as monotherapy or incorporated into composite structures in various formulations such as nanogels, hydrogels, powders, ointments, and sprays, for the treatment of a wide range of wound types including burns, excisional and incisional wounds, bone defects, surgical wounds, and diabetic ulcers. This widespread use is attributed to the strong antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cell proliferation-promoting biological properties of AgNPs. Moreover, AgNPs exhibit synergistic effects when combined with conventional antibiotics, enhancing their efficiency against resistant bacterial strains or even restoring the lost antibacterial activity. These biological properties enable AgNPs to reduce infection risk while simultaneously promoting high-quality healing by accelerating tissue regeneration. The therapeutic effectiveness of AgNPs is influenced by their physicochemical properties, including particle size, shape, and surface chemistry. In particular, synthesis methods play a significant role in determining both the biological activity and the safety profile of AgNPs. Among various methods, green synthesis approaches stand out for enabling the production of environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and highly biocompatible AgNPs. In this review, the mechanisms of action of AgNPs in wound healing are examined in detail, and recent scientific developments in this field are evaluated based on current in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies.
