Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Freshly extracted carious primary teeth that are nearing exfoliation. Primary teeth with visible dentinal caries.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Primary teeth with caries involving pulp. Primary teeth previously treated with SDF(silver diamine fluoride). Primary teeth with restorations. Primary teeth with developmental anomalies.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
SDF increases the resistance to acid dissolution and increases mineral density and hardness. A rich mineralised layer can be found on the surface of arrested carious lesions.Applying KI with SDF creates a silver iodide precipitate that is yellow, insoluble and does not cause black staining on the toothTimepoint: Silver penetration at 1min, after 2min and after 20seconds

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Efficiency of SDF when applied alone and when applied with potassium iodide and light curing.Timepoint: Efficiency of SDF when applied alone and when applied with potassium iodide and light curing.
