Abstrakt: The chemical mechanisms of silver diamine fl uoride, a cariesarresting and caries-preventing agent, are presented using Raman spectroscopy. Findings included that SDF works as a caries-arresting agent by forming Ag3PO4 and as a caries-preventing agent by forming fl uorapatite (FAP), that the time needed for SDF to work as a caries-preventive agent is shorter than that needed to work as a caries-arresting agent, and the presence of thiol group (caries) delayed the formation of Ag3PO4 and FAP.
