Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the knowledge and attitudes of Saudi dental practitioners towards silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in Riyadh public hospitals, using a survey of 278 dental professionals.
- While the average knowledge score of SDF among participants was 3.1, over half of the respondents recognized its potential to treat cavitated lesions, displaying a generally positive attitude towards its use, especially for patients with special needs.
- Main barriers to SDF utilization included concerns about black discoloration, and while many practitioners had limited experience applying SDF, a significant portion anticipated increased use in the future.
