The objective of this study was to report the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles and to discuss their antimicrobial effect for application in dentistry. For the synthesis phase, 0.169 g of AgNO3 were dissolved in 100 mL of deionized water on a magnetic stirring platform, then 0.1 g of gallic acid previously dissolved in 10 mL of deionized water were added. After adding the gallic acid, the pH was adjusted with 0.1 M NaOH flake solution. For the characterization of the nanoparticles obtained, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy in AC mode were used. Analyzes for characterization were prepared using aqueous dispersions obtained from silver nanoparticles which were allowed to dry on a carbon-coated copper grid. In the synthesis carried out, gallic acid is used as a reducing and stabilizing agent, the oxidation reaction of the phenol groups in gallic acid was responsible for the reduction of silver ions. Through transmission electron microscopy, the presence of spherical silver nanoparticles with monodisperse sizes ranging from 5 nm to 13.4 nm was observed, that is, a homogeneous size was obtained from the synthesis. Finally, considering the ease of application and its potential bactericidal action, it is concluded that the spherical silver nanoparticles developed in this work have great potential to be used as auxiliaries in the treatment of oral diseases.
