Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of three topical fluoride application protocols, namely three applications of a 30% SDF solution at yearly or weekly interval and three applications of a 5% NaF varnish at weekly interval, in arresting dental caries in the primary teeth of preschool children over 30 months.

Conditions

  • Dental Caries

Interventions

DEVICE

SDF solution

around 1 mL of 30% silver diammine fluoride (SDF) solution is placed in a small disposable container and a small brush will be used to apply a very small quantity of the solution onto the surface of the dental caries lesion in the tooth

DEVICE

NaF varnish

around 1 mL of 5% NaF (sodium fluoride) varnish is placed in a small disposable container and a small brush will be used to apply a very small quantity of the solution onto the surface of the dental caries lesion in the tooth
