Previous study of Ag/Ti nanomaterials.

Source	Purpose of the study	Results
Martinez-Gutierrez et al. [23]	To compare the antibacterial properties of Ag, Ti, and Ag/Ti	Silver with size 20 nm to 25 nm was the most effective against bacteria.
Liga et al. [24]	To determine the relationship between silver concentration and its effectiveness to eradicate bacteria	The higher the proportion of silver in the silver-titanium nanoparticles, the more effective the nanomaterials against bacteria.
Motlagh et al. [25]	To determine the relationship between the size of nanomaterials and its effectiveness to eradicate bacteria	Ag/Ti nanomaterials with the size between 10 nm and 30 nm show excellent results against bacteria.
Song et al. [26]	To investigate the advanced applications of Ag/Ti nanomaterials	Ag/Ti nanomaterials have excellent mechanical properties as coating materials that can be implemented in implant technology.
Yang et al. [1]	To investigate the Ag/Ti nanomaterials against bacteria	List of bacteria that can be treated by using Ag/Ti nanomaterials: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumonia.
Mei at al. [27]	To investigate the Ag/Ti nanomaterials related to the dental field	Encompassing anodization method was used to synthesize titanium, and plasma immersion ion implantation method was used to synthesize silver that can produce nanotubes and can be effective against bacteria on dental implant cases.
Cao et al. [4]	To explain the application of Ag/Ti nanomaterials that is compatible with osteoblasts	The Ag/Ti nanomaterials were capable and compatible with osteoblasts synthesized using the plasma immersion ion implantation method to produce nanomaterials with size 25 nm.
Wang et al. [28]	To investigate the applications of Ag/Ti nanomaterials synthesized by using hydrothermal and irradiation methods	Ag/Ti nanobelts can be coated into paper sheet applied in food and medical technology.
Besinis et al. [8]	To investigate the best nanomaterials that are used against dental bacterial	Comparison between silver, titanium, and silver-titanium nanomaterials against Streptococcus mutans. The results show that silver is the best material against bacteria.
