Key Points

Silver diamine fluoride offers significant benefits in preventing early childhood caries compared to glass ionomer cement, enhancing overall treatment outcomes.
Parent perceptions reveal differing attitudes towards silver diamine fluoride and glass ionomer cement, indicating preferences that may influence treatment decisions.
Assessment involved a 12-month follow-up in young children, highlighting the effectiveness of current caries management methods in public health contexts.
Findings may encourage wider adoption of atraumatic restorative treatment, addressing early childhood caries as a significant public health issue.

Implication

A 12-month follow-up study compares caries preventive efficacy and parent perception in children, suggesting ART may enhance treatment access.

Abstract

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a global public health issue that is present worldwide and its effects have a significant impact on the overall health and quality of life. Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) is a low-cost alternative to increase the accessibility of restorative treatment in these children. Conventionally glass ionomer cement (GIC) has been used in ART. Off late Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is widely used in management of carious lesion.
