Bacteria in the oral cavity have a great impact on caries formation by demineralizing tooth enamel. Bacterial infection should be prevented before restorative treatments. Rather than invasive treatment of an existing caries, arresting the bacterial activity in the carious lesion and remineralizing the dental tissue has become the goal of contemporary caries management philosophy. Silver compounds with antimicrobial effects have been developed over time and have taken their place in dentistry. 'Silver Diamine Fluoride' was created by combining the remineralizing effect of fluoride with the cariostatic effect of silver. Its popularity has increased because it appeals to the general population. It’s application is painless, simple, and affordable. Our aim in this review is to provide a general perspective on the usage areas of Silver Diamine Fluoride from past to present and to create a guide for its use in pediatric patients.
