2024年3月12日 · This study investigates parental acceptance of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) for treating dental caries in children, focusing on preferences related to anterior (front) versus posterior (back) teeth. Given the esthetic implications of SDF, particularly in visible areas, acceptance varies significantly between anterior and posterior teeth.

Parental acceptance to SDF treatment as statistically significantly related to the location of teeth and child’s cooperation; it was significantly higher in posterior teeth compared to anterior teeth and in uncooperative children compared to cooperative children.

2024年7月23日 · Below are detailed step-by-step instructions for applying SDF from start to finish. 1. Set up your tray/dappen dish. Use clean technique when handling anything that will go into the patient’s mouth. Wear gloves whenever handling SDF to avoid staining.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF), a clear liquid that combines the antibacterial effects of silver and the remineralizing effects of fluoride, is a promising therapeutic agent for managing caries lesions in young children and those with special care needs that has only recently become available in …

2025年1月27日 · Re-emerged from the early 1970s, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is an alkaline topical solution that is gaining increasing interest as a suitable tool for arresting...

2017年4月27日 · Our results supported the following 4 major findings: acceptance of SDF staining was greater for posterior teeth than for anterior teeth, acceptance level increased as the child required more advanced methods of behavior guidance, these effects of location and cooperation varied with the parent’s socioeconomic status, and only approximately ...

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a practical topical approach to arrest caries and avoid extensive and risky dental treatment. However, the literature demonstrates a parental hesitation towards accepting SDF because of black unaesthetic tooth discolouration following application.

In extreme cases, in which parents had to decide whether their children should undergo general anesthesia during treatment, parents' acceptance rate of SDF as a treatment method increased to 68.5% on posterior teeth and to 60.3% on anterior teeth.

2022年12月6日 · Based on the results of our study, both SDF and SDF/KI were effective in arresting carious lesions in primary anterior teeth but the application of KI didn't prevent the discolouration caused...

silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as a simple, minimally invasive method for stabilising and arresting carious lesions.1,2,3 Silver diamine fluoride SDF is a colourless alkaline (pH 9-10) solution containing silver (~25%) and fluoride (~5%) stabilised in ammonia. It has been used internationally for caries management for decades
