Silver Diamine Fluoride Application on Root Caries Fillings

silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution is highly effective in stopping and arresting the progress of decay in dental roots of older adults. The American Dental Association (ADA) has published a guideline based on the up-to-date evidence to support the use of SDF for managing tooth decay. As a non-invasive procedure, application of SDF is simple, quick, painless and non-aerosol generated.

Tonic water will be used as a placebo to mimic the SDF solution.
