Article Synopsis
- Dental caries primarily affects young children and has significant prevalence in lower-income groups, highlighting the need for effective treatment options.
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) versus atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) in treating dental caries among schoolchildren aged 6-12 in a randomized clinical trial.
- Results showed that 58.9% of the SDF-treated lesions remained intact after 9 months, compared to 47.8% for the ART group, indicating that SDF is a more effective and accessible treatment method for managing dental caries in vulnerable populations.
