- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of different silver-containing coatings in microbial control and healing of skin lesions. Method: Systematic review including randomized controlled trials and non-comparative studies with base searches - PubMed, Medline, Scielo and Lilacs. Results: Eight comparative and two non-comparative studies were selected. A total of 1,141 patients participated, 629 using silver-based dressings and 512 with other dressings. The silver was presented in the form of simple dressings and coverings based on Aloe Vera, Honey, Tualang and Xenoderm. There were no statistically significant differences in healing and microbial control between the different types, but in non-comparative studies the results were favorable for silver. Conclusion: Results were inconclusive about silver, so it was not possible to affirm the efficacy of silver due to the scarcity of scientific basis.
