Brief Summary  

Untreated dental caries is a global pandemic. Due to limited financial resources, poor access to basic oral care, and the high cost of restorative treatment, children of low-income nations have their general health, social well-being, and education opportunities affected by untreated dental caries .

  • In this context, there is interest in simple treatments to halt progress of cavities (caries lesions) after tooth decay onset .

 Arresting Caries Treatment (ACT) has been proposed to manage untreated dental caries in children of disadvantaged communities.

  • Topical silver diamine fluoride  is a clear liquid that is painted on the active lesion surface in milligram amounts and arrests the lesion.
  •  Cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in 2014 as a treatment for sensitive teeth and used off-label for the treatment  of cavities in the United States since 2015,12 clinical  trials outside the United States have documented caries arrest.
  • Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment has been identified as a potential solution to address the dental public health issues of untreated dental caries and insufficient access to care especially among disadvantaged children.
  • The current study will assess the short term effectiveness of  38 percent SDF in arresting active caries lesions in children.

·            The Aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate and compare the short term effectiveness  of topically applied 38% silver diamine fluoride with a placebo in arresting caries lesions in primary school children in Hyderabad city.

A randomized controlled trial will be carried out among 61 Primary school children in Hyderabad city. The caries status of the children will be  assessed using Nyvad criteria (1999), wherein children with score 3 of  Nvyad criteria will be included in the study. The children will be randomly assigned to Active Group (n=31) and Control Group (n=30). The Active group will receive topical application of 38% SDF and the control group receives topical application of sterile water as ( placebo). Examination of caries lesions will be assessed at Baseline and after 21st day. On 21st day the number of lesions that are arrested will be evaluated based on the score 6 of Nyvad criteria.
