Multifactorial Analysis of the Effectiveness of Silver Diamine Fluoride Application in Arresting Root Caries

Puntos clave

This research aims to evaluate the efficacy of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in stopping root caries among older adults.
Application of 38% SDF to root caries in older adults
Assessment of variables such as age, gender, and oral health behavior
Evaluation of different tooth types and lesion characteristics
38% SDF significantly arrests root caries in community-dwelling older adults
Effectiveness is independent of demographic and oral health factors
High efficacy observed across various tooth types and lesion attributes

Resumen

It is concluded that the application of 38% SDF is highly effective in arresting root caries of community-dwelling older adults, irrespective of age, gender, oral health-related behaviour, tooth type (anterior/posterior), tooth position (upper/lower), lesion surface (single/multiple), lesion size and depth.
