Arresting Early Childhood Caries with Silver Diamine Fluoride-A Literature Review
Early childhood caries (ECC) has been regarded as one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in early childhood. Many studies show ECC was often neglected and most of the decay was left untreated [1]. Early treatment of ECC is important because untreated caries can lead to pain, sepsis and spreading infection, malnutrition due to the inability to eat, and poor general health. Children with seve...
متن کاملEfficacy of silver diamine fluoride for Arresting Caries Treatment.
Arresting Caries Treatment (ACT) has been proposed to manage untreated dental caries in children. This prospective randomized clinical trial investigated the caries-arresting effectiveness of a single spot application of: (1) 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) with tannic acid as a reducing agent; (2) 38% SDF alone; (3) 12% SDF alone; and (4) no SDF application in primary teeth of 976 Nepalese s...
متن کاملA new "silver-bullet" to treat caries in children--nano silver fluoride: a randomised clinical trial.
BACKGROUND Untreated dental caries in children remains a public health challenge in poor communities. OBJECTIVES This prospective controlled clinical trial investigated the effectiveness of a new anti-caries agent, Nano Silver Fluoride (NSF), applied once a year to arrest caries in children. METHODS One hundred thirty decayed primary teeth were randomly divided into two groups: NSF as the e...
متن کاملNew proposal of silver diamine fluoride use in arresting approximal caries: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Approximal surfaces are a challenge to caries lesions control. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a simple,low-cost and promisor intervention for arresting caries lesions, but it has never been tested on approximal surfaces. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-efficacy of SDF in arresting initial lesions compared to resin infiltration and exclusively flossing (control group). ...
متن کاملSilver diamine fluoride: a caries "silver-fluoride bullet".
The antimicrobial use of silver compounds pivots on the 100-year-old application of silver nitrate, silver foil, and silver sutures for the prevention and treatment of ocular, surgical, and dental infections. Ag(+) kills pathogenic organisms at concentrations of <50 ppm, and current/potential anti-infective applications include: acute burn coverings, catheter linings, water purification systems...
