Caries remineralisation and arresting effect in children by professionally applied fluoride treatment – a systematic review

BACKGROUND As a low-cost and easily operated treatment, the use of professionally applied topical fluoride was approved for preventing dental caries and remineralising early enamel caries or white spot lesions. It is also used to arrest dentine caries. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of professional fluoride therapy in remineralising and arresting caries in childre...

Efficacy 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...

مروری بر کاربردهای فلوئورید دی‌آمین نقره (Silver Diamine Fluoride) در دندانپزشکی

  U ntreated caries are common findings in low-income communities. Treatment of dental caries in young children is challenging and requires a high skill and high cost of dental anesthesia for control ling patients and thus, chemical methods for arresting dental caries have been proposed. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a material that is used to control and to arrest dental caries , especially...
