| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of a 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution (Saforide) and a 5% sodium fluoride NaF varnish (Duraphat) in preventing and arresting carious lesions in anterior primary teeth of preschool children in Southern China. METHOD: 375 children aged 3-5 years with dentine caries in their upper anterior teeth were divided into 5 groups receiving: 1) caries excavation and application of Saforide annually; 2) annual application of Saforide; 3) caries excavation and application of Duraphat every 3 months; 4) application of Duraphat every 3 months; and 5) water as control. Status of the upper anterior teeth were recorded at baseline and follow-up examinations. Caries was diagnosis as present when there was a cavity with soft dentine. RESULTS: Findings at the 30-month examination are shown in the table below. CONCLUSION: The 30-month results showed that annual application of silver diamine fluoride was effective in caries prevention and in arresting dentine caries of primary anterior teeth in preschool children. |
