The composition and mechanism of action of the SDF are presented, as well as the application technique and indications. The effectiveness of SDF is reported based on contemporary scientific evidence from laboratory and clinical studies, focusing on its effect in enamel and dentin remineralization and caries arrestment. Parental and professional acceptance of tooth staining is presented, as well as the use of potassium iodide as a possible alternative to manage this side-effect. Taking all the discussed information together, it is possible to conclude that the SDF is a simple and effective treatment to halt the dental caries progress in children.

Book excerpt: Dental caries specifically ECC, remains a remarkable issue in certain parts of society, particularly those with low socioeconomic status and with scarce health care services. Techniques that promote less discomfort, such as the application of silver diamine fluoride, should be preferred and considered. Treatment of the disease is needed as children with an active caries lesion in their primary dentition can also present with caries lesions in their permanent dentition. By arresting and preventing the progression of caries, SDF offers an intervening care path for young children for whom traditional restorative treatment is not instantly available nor unacceptable by the children. This book on SDF highlights the properties of SDF and clinical recommendations on its use, safety for clinicians, the pros and cons of SDF solution in the clinical use of young children.

It also describes protective factors such as toothbrushing, the use of fluoridated toothpastes and making dental visits. The 2012–14 National Child Oral Health Study (NCOHS) was a cross-sectional study of the child population aged 5 to 14 years in Australia. A total of 24,664 children from 841 participating schools completed the study. The study sample was selected in a complex multistage, stratified sampling design. Sophisticated weighting procedure was employed to adjust for variations in probabilities of selection and response rates. Therefore, this report presents estimates as representative of child oral health in Australia. Information was collected via a parental questionnaire and a detailed dental examination by trained dental professionals.
Download or read book Opinions and Current Practices of General Dentists Pediatric Dentists and Pediatricians of Ohio Regarding Silver Diamine Fluoride written by Jessica M. Pizano and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results: Overall, forty-five percent of pediatric dentists are currently using SDF most of whom are twenty to forty year old women that have been in practice between 1 and 10 years. For the most part, dentists believe there is a need for SDF treatment and that they would be willing to provide it with proper training. Pediatricians were unfamiliar with SDF. Most pediatricians agree that there is a need for SDF treatment in a dental office (55%) while most are unsure if it has a place in pediatricians' office (56%). The majority of pediatricians agreed that they would be willing to provide SDF with appropriate training. Among all practitioners, the most common patients that would be appropriate to receive this treatment were those who have trouble finding access to care: children age 0-3, uncooperative patients, patients with special health care needs, and patients with trouble getting to the dental office. Esthetics was the most common contraindication and primary posterior teeth were deemed most appropriate for SDF application. Conclusion: Ohio's pediatric dentists are more likely to be the primary provider of SDF treatment however, general dentists would begin to incorporate its use into their practices. Further research and education on SDF for use by pediatricians is needed.
Download or read book Cure Tooth Decay written by Ramiel Nagel and published by Rami Nagel. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget about drilling, filling, and the inevitable billing. Your teeth can heal naturally because they were never designed to decay in the first place! They were designed to remain strong and healthy for your entire life. But the false promises of conventional dentistry have led us down the wrong path, leading to invasive surgical treatments that include fillings, crowns, root canals and dental implants. Now there is a natural way to take control of your dental health by changing the food that you eat. Cure Tooth Decay is based upon the pioneering nutritional program of dentist Weston Price, former head of research at the National Dental Association. Dr. Price's program proved to be 90-95% or more effective in remineralizing tooth cavities utilizing only nutritional improvements in the diet. Cure Tooth Decay is the result of five years of research and trial and error that started as one father's journey to cure his daughter's rapidly progressing tooth decay. With Cure Tooth Decay you will join the thousands of people who have learned how to remineralize teeth, eliminate tooth pain or sensitivity, avoid root canals, stop cavities -- sometimes instantaneously, regrow secondary dentin, form new tooth enamel, avoid or minimize gum loss, heal and repair tooth infections, only use dental treatments when medically necessary, save your mouth (and your pocketbook) from thousands of dollars of unneeded dental procedures, and increase your overall health and vitality.

Download or read book Silver Fluoride and Caries Management written by Raman Bedi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization (WHO) have classified the dental caries epidemic as a global public health priority. A global action plan has been published, and by 2030, each country needs to reduce the dental caries burden and implement a universal health care strategy. Public and private oral health care expenditure has reached an estimated 387 billion US dollars, and its distribution is unequal, with most costs occurring in high-income settings. Dental caries is estimated to impact 3.5 billion people and is more significant than any other Non-communicable disease. The majority of dental cavities are untreated. In 2021, the WHO Essential Medicine Committee included, for the first time, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as a critical medicine. SDF was listed as a caries arresting product. Silver fluoride product has recently been introduced to the dental market and initial evidence is that it is also as effective in arresting caries.
