| Popis: | Silver diamine fluoride 38% (SDF) may possess therapeutic effects beyond desensitization, caries prevention and arresting. We report the case of a 41-year-old male with intellectual disability. He had generalized gingivitis on a reduced periodontium and presented with enlarged gingiva with mobile teeth, particularly on the upper anterior and upper left. The inflammation could not be fully resolved despite multiple debridement treatments. Due to prevalent demineralization and hypersensitive teeth on the upper left area, SDF was applied. This not only reduced the perceived hypersensitivity, but significantly improved his periodontal condition and tooth mobility over the applied areas. We discuss the potential of SDF beyond its current use. |
