Impact of Silver Diamine Fluoride Therapy on Oral Health-related Quality of Life of Uncooperative Preschool Children: A Prospective Study.

Purpose: Preschool children with early childhood caries (ECC) frequently exhibit extreme dental anxiety and fear, posing a considerable challenge to paediatric dentists for their treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of uncooperative preschool children using an Arabic version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (A-ECOHIS).

Materials And Methods: A pre-validated A-ECOHIS was used to assess the sensitivity and responsiveness.
