Clinical Trial Summary

Dental caries can be prevented or arrested . Moreover, preventive measures for dental caries are more cost effective than emergency room visits or restorative treatments when the illness has been established . One of the recent preventive methods of dental caries is silver diamine flouride . SDF has been used as an alternative treatment for caries prevention and arrest . Several studies showed that silver diamine flouride cause staining of the treated teeth . However, parents have different attitudes toward using SDF considering its positives and negatives.

Clinical Trial Description

Dental caries is one of the most common diseases in the world, with a prevalence of 69%‐79% . Early childhood caries (ECC) has been recognized by the American Dental Association as an important public health issue and was defined as presence of 1 or more decayed, missing, or filled tooth surfaces (dmfs) in any primary tooth in a preschool-aged child . Caries was known to be managed through two main approaches: Treatment, which includes drill and fill which is a challenge specially in minimally cooperative children and the second approach is prevention which depends on cease the process of caries formation at an early stage which is more effective . One of the recently marketed preventive measures of dental caries is silver diamine fluoride (SDF) .

In 2014, SDF was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for dentinal sensitivity .It was proven to be a cost-effective, minimally invasive, and handy treatment . Silver diamine flouride is easy to apply in a minimally cooperative individual . More important, it has shown a noticeable success rate in caries prevention, especially in early childhood caries cases . It provides families with an alternative solutions for managing dental caries, particularly if caries was detected at an early stage . Moreover, it could save time and effort for both families and dental teams.

The major downside of SDF is the unesthetic permanent black discoloration of the arrested lesion , which could affect parental acceptance for the treatment and may result in shifting to another esthetically acceptable treatment. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
