To assess discoloration of carious primary teeth after application of silver diamine fluoride versus sodium fluoride varnish.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's (AAPD) guidelines (2017) stated that Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a brush-on liquid that arrest 87.7% of dental caries lesions. The success rate is similar for restorations placed under GA. One of the most exciting aspects of SDF is the 67±4% decrease in new lesions on untreated surfaces, achieved simply by treating active lesions .This is not the same as incidence of any new lesions (elaborated above for treatment under GA), however the relation warrants further investigation.

Benefit to the population
Children aged 2-5 years can benefit from the use of SDF, an easy anticaries treatment. Furthermore, children in this age group may benefit from delayed dental treatment and overall caries arrest, thus reducing potential pain and infection, expensive future emergency room visits, the need for general anesthesia or traumatic dental experiences on uncooperative children.
