Brief Summary

Dental caries is one of the most common oral diseases of childhood and is considered as a major public health problem especially in areas with poor access to dental care. In a recent cross sectional study carried out in Egypt on 1000 child aged from 3-6 years, it was found that 61.4% of these children had dental caries. In order to avoid serious complications of untreated dental caries such as pain, infections, emergency visits and possibly hospitalization , an effective low cost treatment should be identified particularly in areas with poor dental access. Studies have proven that silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a topical fluoride that has the ability to effectively arrest and prevent dental caries.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Fluoride uptake into dentine

    Fluoride weight percent in dentin under Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Restoration in primary molars

    2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Control Group (A) : RMGI restoration without SDF and KI.

NO INTERVENTION

• RMGI restoration without SDF and KI.

Intervention Group (B): Pretreatment with SDF and KI prior to RMGI restoration.

EXPERIMENTAL

• Pretreatment with SDF and KI prior to RMGI restoration.

Drug: Silver diamine fluoride

Interventions

a layer of 38% SDF solution was topically applied to the cavity using a micro brush, immediately followed by a saturated Potassium Iodide KI solution using a micro brush also, then a creamy white precipitate was immediately formed, KI was applied until the white precipitate turned clear.

Also known as: SDF and KI
Intervention Group (B): Pretreatment with SDF and KI prior to RMGI restoration.
