| Abstract:
|
Early childhood caries (ECC) is a prevalent disease which spreads at a rapid pace, ultimately resulting in muti-lated primary dentition. It results in loss of tooth structure in a short span of time. Minimal and non invasive approaches should be taken into consideration for ECC management in order to preserve the tooth structure. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) gained attention recently due to its effectiveness in arresting caries progression and preventing new caries. SDF allows a more conservative tooth preparation by arresting remaining decay and remineralising the affected dentin. Thus, it can be a favorable means to treat dental caries in children. The present review discusses the effect of SDF in arresting and preventing caries and its clinical significance based on the published literature.
