Brief summary

This article represents original research in the field of Dentistry . This research will increase the clinical knowledge about the use of SDF into their routine clinical dental practice The methodology used for this study involved 90 patients done in department of operative dentistry. It signifies the importance of new SDF methods as alternative to the conventional methods for reducing hypersensitivity.

Interventions

38% silver diamine flouride. The participants in the Group A receive min. 0.1ml of single application of SDF on each tooth with root caries for at least 1 minute, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The teeth are isolated with cotton rolls and gently dried. dentist will apply SDF with a disposable microbrush. the duration of visit is approximately 15 -20 minutes.

In our study, a treatment approach involving two visits is utilized. During the initial visit, the dentin undergoes a slight brown discoloration as a result of the application of SDF to root caries lesion. On next visit after a week, the root caries display darker color and increased hardness. Thus facilitating cavity preparation and subsequent composite restoration. This protocol ensures that the visual and tactile criteria are adequate for assessing the caries status on the second visit
