Green-synthesized nanoparticles for glass ionomer cement reinforcement: a systematic review of their antimicrobial, mechanical, and physicochemical properties.
Synthesis in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsThis systematic review critically evaluates the antimicrobial performance, mechanical properties, and fluoride release of glass ionomer cements (GICs) modified exclusively with green-synthesized nanoparticles. The review highlights how eco-friendly nanoparticle production influences material behavior and clinical applicability.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases to identify in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies reporting on GICs incorporated with green synthesized nanoparticles. Inclusion criteria were based on nanoparticle synthesis method, outcomes, and material characterization. Data extraction, quality assessment, and synthesis followed PRISMA guidelines.
resultsTwenty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. Green-synthesized nanoparticles derived from plant and biological extracts consistently enhanced antibacterial activity through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, membrane disruption, ion release, and biofilm inhibition. Improvements in compressive strength, microhardness, and fluoride release were observed for several nanoparticle formulations, particularly chitosan-titania-zirconia-hydroxyapatite and plant-mediated hydroxyapatite. However, variability in synthesis routes, nanoparticle concentrations, and characterization protocols limited direct comparison across studies.
conclusionsGreen-synthesized nanoparticles significantly improve the antimicrobial and mechanical properties of GICs while offering enhanced biocompatibility and sustainability compared to chemically synthesized nanomaterials. Standardized synthesis, precise nanoparticle characterization, and clinical validation are essential to advance the integration of green nanotechnology in restorative dentistry.
