AI Article Synopsis

  • Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is gaining popularity in dentistry due to its minimally invasive approach, ability to kill bacteria, and reduce tooth sensitivity.
  • Despite its advantages, concerns about tooth discoloration and the need for more research on its long-term effects remain.
  • The article highlights the potential of SDF in dental care while stressing the importance of ongoing research and education to fully leverage its benefits.

Article Abstract

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has garnered increasing attention in contemporary dental practice due to its unique properties and clinical applications. The minimally invasive nature, antimicrobial efficacy, and desensitization capabilities of SDF position it as a valuable tool in preventive and restorative dentistry. However, esthetic concerns associated with tooth discoloration and the need for further research to understand long-term outcomes underscore the importance of ongoing investigation and clinical integration. This article underscores the transformative potential of SDF in modern dental care and emphasizes the necessity of continued research and education to maximize its benefits.

Objective This in vitro study evaluated the impact of different time intervals on the color stability of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composite materials bonded to teeth treated with silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Specifically, the study sought to determine if immediate or delayed application of these restorative materials affects the degree of staining caused by SDF. Materials and methods Twenty-eight extracted primary molars with cavitated lesions were randomly divided into four groups, each comprising seven samples.

Objectives: Comparative evaluation of indirect pulp therapy (IPT) with silver diamine fluoride (SDF), Type VII glass ionomer cement (GIC), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in young permanent molars.

Materials And Methods: This was randomized controlled trial, in which 45 children with 60 young permanent first molars were allocated as; Group A: IPT with SDF, Group B: Type VII GIC, and Group C: Ca(OH)2. Clinical and radiographic evaluation and comparison was done at baseline, 3, 6, 12 months.

Aim: Clinical and radiographic evaluation of SDF versus MTA as indirect pulp capping agents in deeply carious first permanent molars.

Methodology: This study was conducted on (30) first permanent molars indicated for indirect pulp capping (IPC) randomly allocated to either SDF or MTA groups (n = 15). The molars were finally restored with glass hybrid glass ionomer restoration.
