Abstract:

Carious lesions (CL) are one of the most common healthcare issues, especially prevalent in children or vulnerable population. Treatment with silver-based compounds have been applied for more than a century, two of the most common are silver nitrate (SN) and silver diamino fluoride (SDF), both widely used as antibacterial agent for cariogenic bacteria. In this clinical trial we compared SN and SDF effects in CL and their measurable observable parameters, coloring and texture and the progression of the carious arrest during a six-month period. Both compounds showed high efficiency results and either wasn’t proven beneficial over the other.
