Abstract
Silver Diamine Fluoride in Reducing Dentin Hypersensitivity In Vital Tooth Preparation: A Case Report
Highlights
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a clear solution that has many advantages in dentistry
SDF is a liquid agent of a pH-10, 24.4% to 28.8% of silver and 5.0 to 5.9% of fluoride [1]
Dentinal hypersensitivity is the most common clinical condition arising from vital tooth preparation associated with exposed dentinal surfaces
Summary
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a clear solution that has many advantages in dentistry. SDF is a liquid agent of a pH-10, 24.4% to 28.8% of silver and 5.0 to 5.9% of fluoride [1]. There is sufficient evidence that reported SDF is a caries arrest and preventive agent. SDF application is a non-invasive technique that is very simple to use and quick in the process. It is a safe, painless alternative to traditional cavity drilling procedures [2]. Silver ions in SDF work as antimicrobial agents, while fluoride helps form fluorohydroxyapatite and ammonia, stabilizing the components in SDF solution [1, 3]. SDF works as caries arresting and preventive agent and a good desensitizing agent [1, 4]
