In situ study examines the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride in preventing dentine erosion, suggesting clinical utility.
OBJECTIVES: ) of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on human dentine. METHODS: by a microhardness tester, optical profilometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and spectrophotometry, respectively. RESULTS: : SDF 14.8±2.4, SNF 8.1±2.2, DW 4.8±2.3 (SDF>SNF>DW; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Weekly application of 38% SDF demonstrated significantly better anti-erosive protection but caused black staining on dentine surfaces. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: SDF with weekly application has been demonstrated to be effective in preventing dentine erosion, although dentine staining remains a clinical consideration.
