Untreated dental caries in Chinese pre-school children is common. This prospective controlled clinical trial investigated the effectiveness of topical fluoride applications in arresting dentin caries. Three hundred seventy-five children, aged 3-5 years, with carious upper anterior teeth were divided into five groups. Children in the first and second groups received annual applications of silver diamine fluoride solution (44,800 ppm F). Sodium fluoride varnish (22,600 ppm F) was applied every three months to the lesions of children in the third and fourth groups. For children in the first and third groups, soft carious tissues were removed prior to fluoride application. The fifth group was the control. Three hundred eight children were followed for 30 months. The respective mean numbers of arrested carious tooth surfaces in the five groups were 2.5, 2.8, 1.5, 1.5, and 1.3 (p < 0.001). Silver diamine fluoride was found to be effective in arresting dentin caries in primary anterior teeth in pre-school children.

Abstract Background Interest in aqueous silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been growing as a treatment for caries arrest. A cross-sectional study was conducted to identify factors associated with caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment for children presenting with caries at 8 Federally Qualified Health Centers. The study purpose was to examine associations between caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment for children with caries and (1) sociodemographic and acculturation characteristics of caregivers and (2) clinical assessments of the children by dentists. Methods A caregiver survey collected information on: sociodemographic characteristics; acculturation characteristics, measured using the validated Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH); perceived benefits and barriers of SDF treatment, including caregiver comfort; and perceived health-related knowledge. Chart reviews were conducted to assess: the medical / dental insurance of pediatric patients; cumulative caries experience, measured using decayed, missing, filled teeth total scores (dmft / DMFT); whether operating room treatment was needed; and a record of caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment (the outcome measure). Standard logistic regression models were developed for caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment for their children as the binary outcome of interest (yes / no) to calculate unadjusted odds ratios (OR) and adjusted ORs for covariates of interest. Results Overall, 434 of 546 caregivers (79.5%) accepted SDF treatment for their children. A U-shaped relationship between caregiver odds of accepting SDF treatment and age group of pediatric patients was present, where caregivers were most likely to accept SDF treatment for their children who were either < 6 years or 9–14 years, and least likely to accept SDF treatment for children 6 to < 9 years. The relationship between acculturation and caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment depended upon whether or not caregivers were born in the United States: greater acculturation was associated with caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment among caregivers born in this country, and lower acculturation was associated with caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment among caregivers born elsewhere. Conclusions Caregiver acceptance of SDF treatment is high; child’s age and caregiver comfort are associated with acceptance. Providers need to communicate the risks and benefits of evidence-based dental treatments to increasingly diverse caregiver and patient populations.

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) has been documented to effectively arrest dental caries and reduce dental hypersensitivity. SDF promotes remineralization and harden the carious lesion. SDF increases fluoride concentration in saliva and increase the bioavailability of fluoride in saliva. After SDF application, fluoride ion promotes remineralization and silver ion is available for antimicrobial action. Aim: The study aims to determine and compare the amount of fluoride released from various fluoride releasing materials in artificial saliva after 24 hours, 7th day and 14th day of the study. Materials and Methods: 96 premolars free of any caries, fractures, or any other defects were sterilized in 10% formalin for 2 weeks. Then they were rinsed in tap water to remove any fixative from its surface and then stored in deionised distilled water for a period of 30 days prior to testing. Tooth samples were divided into four groups- Group 1: 38% SDF, Group 2: 1.23% APF gel, Group 3: Fluoride varnish and Group 4: Control. All the teeth specimens were blot dried and subjected to their respective material. Fluoride release was analysed using a Fluoride ion-selective electrode after 24 hours, 7days and 14 days of suspension in artificial saliva. Results: Mann-Whitney U Test for inter-group comparison was used for statistical evaluation. 24 Hours fluoride release: The maximum amount of fluoride was released from Fluoride Varnish followed by SDF then APF Gel and least by artificial saliva alone (control) (p<0.001). 7th Day fluoride release: The maximum amount of fluoride was released from SDF followed by Fluoride Varnish then APF Gel and least by artificial saliva alone (control) (p<0.001). 14th Day fluoride release: The maximum amount of fluoride was released from Fluoride Varnish followed by SDF then APF Gel and least by artificial saliva alone (control) (p<0.001).

Purpose: To assess the effect of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on microbial profiles present in plaque from root/cervical carious lesions, and its association with caries lesion arrest. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with at least one soft cavitated root/cervical carious lesion were included. One lesion/patient was randomly selected and treated with 38% SDF. Supragingival plaque samples were harvested at preintervention and 1 month postintervention. Using an MiSeq platform, 16S rDNA sequencing of the V3-V4 regions was used to determine bacterial profiles. Clinical evaluation of lesion hardness was used to evaluate arrest. t tests, principal component analysis (PCA), multidimensional scaling (MDS), and generalized linear models (GLMs) tests were used for statistical comparisons. Results: From a total of 40 plaque samples, 468 probe targets were observed. Although 60% of lesions became hard postintervention, PCA and MDS tests showed no distinct pre- and postintervention groups. In addition, pre- and postintervention differences in diversity (Shannon index) of microbial profiles between patients with and without lesion arrest were not statistically different. A likelihood ratio test for pre- versus postintervention differences within patients, i.e., adjusting for differences between patients using negative binomial GLMs, showed 17 bacterial taxa with significant differences (FDR <0.05). Conclusion: Although 60% of lesions hardened after SDF treatment, this was not directly due to either overall statistically significant differences in microbial profiles or differences in microbial diversity. Nevertheless, there was a trend with some acid-producing species in that their relative abundance was reduced postintervention. The negative binomial GLMs showed 17 bacterial taxa that were significantly different after SDF treatment.
