Kids globally suffer from dental caries and pose problems for the dentist to treat it with conventional drilling. SDF is recommended to stop progression of carious lesion with out drilling. It is definitely, very viable alternative solution for attending dentist to manage such uncooperative children. Kindly share your experiences.
Asaad Javaid Mirza Respected Sir. Thank you so much for bringing in this topic. I know there is a lot of enthusiasm related to this breakthrough recognition of SDF. I am personally using SDF on ECC patients and also pursuing a study on its effectiveness. Till now I am quite satisfied and patients are also not reporting any post-application issues. The only concern some parents had was related to permanent discoloration. This was reasoned out with parents where the child was not willing for the restorations and out of the few eventually agreed upon.
Many thanks

lo he usado en infantes, con caries de biberón, pero no profundas porque está contraindicado, es muy bueno de fácil aplicación indoloro, sin ruido, por ese aspecto los padres lo aceptan, lo malo es la coloración que produce.
I have used SDF in a few cases of SECC and have got good results. If the parents are motivated to maintain good oral hygiene and adhere to the dentists dietary instructions, there is o progression of the lesion. The most common concern that parents have with SDF is regarding the discolouration seen post-application. However, if this concern is addressed by the dentist beforehand then it does not pose a hindrance. Careful case selection is a must with SDF application.
