Comparative cariostatic efficacy of a novel Nano-silver fluoride varnish with 38% silver diamine fluoride varnish a double-blind randomized clinical trial

Silver 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...

EFFECT OF FLUORIDATED VARNISH AND SILVER DIAMINE FLUORIDE SOLUTION ON ENAMEL DEMINERALIZATION: pH-CYCLING STUDY

OBJECTIVE In the present investigation, the anticariogenic effect of fluoride released by two products commonly applied in infants was evaluated. METHODS Bovine sound enamel blocks were randomly allocated to each one of the treatment groups: control (C), varnish (V) and diamine silver fluoride solution (D). The blocks were submitted to pH cycles in an oven at 37 degrees C. Next, surface and c...

A 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...
