Silver Diamine Fluoride
Conditions
Brief summary
Children with primary teeth with dentin carious lesions without pulp involvement, who have previously been treated with either Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) followed by Resin Modified Glass Ionomer or with Resin Modified Glass Ionomer alone, will be retrieved from the Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department records. The aim of the study, a detailed description of the procedure, and how the tooth will be used, will be explained to the parents and their child, and written informed consent from the parents and assent from the child will be obtained.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Histological evaluation of dental pulp under light microscope | 7 days after extraction | After teeth extraction, they will be fixed in a 10% formalin buffer for at least 48 hours, after which they will be decalcified in 10% nitric acid for 7 days. Then they will be embedded in paraffin, and mesiodistal histological sections approximately 8 μm thick will be cut. Sections will be stained with hematoxylin and Eosin, and a qualitative histological evaluation of dental pulp will be performed under light microscopy. |
