Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the adhesive properties in dentine after the application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on carious dentine lesions immediately and after 2 years of water storage.

Methods: 96 human molars used were subjected to artificial dentine caries production, and then randomly divided into 12 experimental groups according to 1. application of an SDF solution (carious dentine lesion without SDF treatment [control], with 12 % silver diamine fluoride [SDF 12 %] or 38 % silver diamine fluoride [SDF 38 %]); 2. Universal adhesives (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick [CUQ] and Single Bond Universal [SBU]); 3. adhesive strategy (etch-and-rinse [ER] and self-etch [SE]). After restoration, the specimens were sectioned and submitted to the microtensile bond strength test (μTBS) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis (SEM/EDX). All tests were performed immediately and after 2 years of water storage. Data from the μTBS were analyzed using four-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05).

Results: Only the interaction of factors 'SDF' vs 'time' was significant (p = 0.03). After 2 years of storage, the groups where SDF was applied showed higher μTBS values compared to the control group. No significant decrease in μTBS values was observed for SBU when comparing immediate and 2-year results, but a significant reduction in μTBS values was observed after 2 years for CUQ.

Conclusion: Independent of the adhesive strategy, the use of SDF may be a promising alternative to maintain the bonding of universal adhesives to carious dentinal lesions.

Clinical Significance: This study may clarify and support clinicians regarding the longevity of resin-based restoration in caries-affected dentine treated with silver diamine fluoride.

To investigate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of young children in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of silver diammine fluoride (SDF) and five percent sodium fluoride varnish (NaFV) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). Children younger than 72 months of age with active dentinal caries lesions (ICDAS 5 or 6) in primary teeth received two applications of 38 percent SDF and five percent NaFV as part of an RCT testing three different frequency regimes (one, four, and six months apart). The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) questionnaire was completed at three study visits.

Perceptions of dental professionals on the use of silver diamine fluoride with or without light-curing.

Department of Community Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, 34 Henri-Dunant rd., Wangmai, Pathumwan, Bangkok, 10330, Bangkok, Thailand.

Background: According to anecdotal reports, SDF's ability to arrest caries can be enhanced by light-curing in a clinical setting. The purpose of the present study was to explore the dental professionals' perceptions of using SDF and to understand the barriers and enabling factors to using SDF with and without light-curing.

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with dental professionals who had experience with using SDF with and without light-curing.

Early childhood caries (ECC), one of the most common health problems among children aged six years and below, is considered present when one or more surfaces of a tooth are decayed, missing, or filled. Not only does ECC cause pain for a long time, but it also has short- and long-term health consequences in children. In order to treat ECC, holistic management that includes preventive, restorative, and prosthetic intervention is necessary.

: The World Health Organisation (WHO) included silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines for the management of early childhood caries. SDF is typically available as a 38% aqueous solution, which is watery to apply. A 38% SDF gel has recently been developed, but its caries-arrest effectiveness remains unsubstantiated.

Article Synopsis
  • The flexibility of 2,2'-bipyridyl-based diamine and coordination domain denticity allowed for the creation of four different structures stabilized by silver-silver pairs.
  • Reactions with 2,6-diformylpyridine produced silver(I)-stabilized molecular tweezer, trefoil knot, and Solomon link.
  • The 1,8-naphthyridine-based dialdehyde led to the formation of [2]catenanes and trefoil knot, with notable close distances between silver ions and two assemblies exhibiting interesting luminescent properties.
