Objectives:
Current research was done to evaluate the effectiveness of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on carious lesions in deciduous teeth.
Materials And Method:
The study included kids who had at least one carious lesion in accordance to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System II. A 38% SDF (FAgamin, Tedequim Company, Córdoba, Argentina) solution was applied directly to the lesion on the deciduous teeth as per the manufacturer's instructions. A follow-up evaluation was performed after one, three, and six months. Clinical results were used to assess the efficacy of SDF. The obtained data were statistically evaluated.
Result:
When it came to halting dental caries in primary teeth, 38% SDF was 92% effective.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, 38% SDF can be used to effectively stop caries in primary teeth.
