Brief Summary  

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two caries arrest products

1. 38% Silver Diamine fluoride

2.25% Silver Nitrate  and 5% Sodium Fluoride

This research is a Randomized parallel two cell design. Subjects who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be randomly divided into two groups. After obtaining consent Group A will be treated with 38% Silver Diamine fluoride  and Group B will be treated with 25% Silver Nitrate  and 5% Sodium Fluoride using a micro applicator brush while protecting the surrounding soft tissue with cotton. The outcome variable, caries arrest, will be checked immediately after the application, after 3 month and 6 months using visual and tactile method.
Mann Whitney test will be used to check the statistical significance of the effectiveness of the two products
