Randomized clinical trial evaluated caries arrest rates in primary molars, revealing SDF outperformed NaF varnish.

Caries arrest rate was significantly higher with 38% SDF at 76.31% compared to 47.3% with 5% NaF varnish.
In Group 1, arrest rates for various ICCMS stages ranged from 90.9% to 37.5%, while Group 2 ranged from 80% to 0%.
Caries arrest was assessed radiographically at 6, 9, and 12 months, confirming SDF's superior effectiveness.
This trial highlights the potential of SDF as a primary treatment for interproximal caries in children.

Singhal et al. (2025) studied this question.
