Filter by:Sodium Fluoride (NAF) varnish was considered as the treatment of Early Childhood Caries (ECC). However, the emergence of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) has become more popular to tackle dental caries among children. SDF has silver ions that harbor antibacterial properties that play a crucial role in arresting active, cavitated carious lesions and has fluoride ions that are important in remineralizing enamel and dentin. This randomized control trial aims to compare the effect of SDF and NaF varnish on the salivary pH and density of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. 49 subjects below 6 years old, attending dental treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) were recruited and were divided into two groups of treatment: 38% SDF or 5% SDF. Saliva samples of each subject were collected to test for salivary pH and density of S. mutans and Lactobacillus before the treatment and after 3 months of treatment. The salivary pH were tested using a calibrated pH meter. Saliva samples were subjected to microbiological analysis using Colony Forming Unit (CFU) and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technique. The findings of this study will be used to support the use of SDF as an alternative to NaF varnish and to develop a recommendation guideline on the clinical use of SDF in ECC management.
The objective is to determine whether the efficacy of a 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) gel is non-inferior to a 38% SDF solution for arresting carious lesions in preschool children when applied at half-yearly intervals over a 30-month period.
The aim of the current study is to assess the effectiveness of different early childhood caries (ECC) tele-detection methods combined with referral pathways with and without preventive focus in controlling ECC based on clinically assessed and patient-reported oral health outcomes.
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of strengthened anticipatory guidance (AG) used in MOH Malaysia Infant Oral Healthcare Programme in preventing early childhood caries (ECC) lesions and improving caries risk of infants in Negeri Sembilan and their primary caregiver's knowledge and practice on infant oral healthcare
This study compares the effect of the controlled flow delivery Dentapen® technique to traditional syringes on pain perception during dental procedures among a group of pediatric dental patients
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical success of modified celluloid strip crown restorations applied using interim therapeutic restoration and high-viscosity glass ionomer cement to the maxillary anterior teeth of children with early childhood caries and cooperation problems.
There is still a need for the assessment of different minimal intervention strategies and treatments focusing on the prevention and arrest of carious lesions of primary molars The evidence-based clinical practice guideline on non-restorative treatments for cavitated carious lesions advocate the use of silver diammine fluoride biannually for high caries risk patients
The overall objective of this study is to investigate the association of early Candida infection (known as oral thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis, OPC) in children during the first year of life with the onset and severity of severe early childhood caries (S-ECC).
Arresting dental caries using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has gained attention recently for the management of early childhood caries (ECC). However, black staining is one of its drawbacks. A possible affordable alternative can be Sodium Fluoride (NaF) supported with good oral hygiene induced by parental Motivational Interviewing (MI). The trial aims to compare the impact of SDF versus NaF supported by MI on lesion activity in preschool children.
In this cross sectional epidemiological study, we aimed to report the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) in children attending kindergartens in Jordan, and its associated risk factors. We also, aimed to determine the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride as a caries control material and its acceptance among parents of children with ECC. Children (n=887) with mean age 4.64 ± 1.56 were examined. Among this sample there was a number of children (n=159) who were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to study silver diamine fluoride efficacy in caries control. The sample consisted of two groups; the study group (children who received single spot application of 38% SDF) and control group (children who were examined only).
