Silver Diamine Fluoride: A Magic Stain- A Review

Description

The use of a topical fluoride solution, specifically silver diamine fluoride (SDF), in dental treatment is gaining popularity. SDF has been utilized as a caries arresting and anti-hypersensitivity agent in various Asian countries, including Japan and China. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved it.In the United States, it is approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a fluoride to treat hypersensitive teeth. Topical use of SDF is a noninvasive, rapid, and easy treatment. Laboratory investigations and clinical trials have shown that SDF is more effective than other fluoride treatments in halting caries development. According to one assessment, SDF is a safe, effective, efficient, and equitable caries control agent with potentially broad applicability in dentistry and may meet certain criteria. Because SDF management of dental caries is noninvasive and much more comfortable, it can be a beneficial way to treat dental caries in youngsters. Based on the known literature, the current study provides insight into the use of SDF in pediatric dentistry and its clinical value.
