Background: Identifying successful and affordable method to manage decayed tooth in children with high risk caries or with difficulty to obtain proper dental care is very important to avoid probable complications and to decrease caries subsequent problems. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been identified as an anticaries agent that successfully arrests dental decay and has the potential to address the epidemic of untreated decay in young children. Aim: Evaluation of discoloration and failure of silver diamine fluoride and comparing it with sodium fluoride varnish. Methodology: Sample size 62 Children with 298 carious primary teeth were selected following eligibility criteria and randomization was performed 1:1 allocation ratio: Group I: (38%) Silver Diamine Fluoride and group II: (5%) Sodium Fluoride Varnish. All patients recalled after 3,6,9 and 12 months to evaluate discoloration and failure. Results: Comparison between both groups was performed using Chi square test which revealed that, group I was significantly higher regarding Black discoloration after 12 months, Group II was significantly higher than group I after 6- and 12-months regarding failure. Also, correlation between discoloration and failure revealed significant strong positive correlation in both groups. Conclusion: Black discoloration is higher in group I, while failure is higher in group II. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
