“…It is important to emphasize that regardless of the materials and techniques used to control the progression of lesions in these teeth, the actions may be inappropriate and insufficient [37,39,40] if they are not accompanied by supervised oral hygiene practices and educational processes from an early age [41,42], during which parents should raise awareness of the importance of keeping temporary teeth healthy.…”

Dental caries in the preschool population presents a significant challenge in the field of global public health, including Ecuador. Early detection of this disease is crucial for developing effective strategies for prevention and promotion of oral health, which can have a substantial impact on the quality of life of preschool-aged children. This study evaluated 600 children aged 3 to 5 years attending preschool education centers using the ICDAS II diagnostic criteria. The Student’s t-test was used to analyze differences between the means of two independent groups. Additionally, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to assess differences between the means of three or more groups. The prevalence of caries was 87%, with a dft index of 3.85 in the three provinces studied. A high treatment need was observed in 84.17% of the population. No significant differences in the DFT index were found based on gender, although both groups exhibited elevated values. No significant differences were observed in relation to province and environment. The second molar was the most affected tooth, with a caries prevalence of 58.8%. Despite the lack of significant differences among the evaluated variables, a high prevalence and experience of dental caries were found in the studied population.

A bstract Background Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution has been used clinically to prevent and arrest dental caries. To evaluate the microtensile bond strength between silver-modified atraumatic restorative technique (SMART) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) applied to carious primary teeth and also the mode of restoration failure. Materials and methods A total of 40 carious primary molars were equally allocated into test and control groups after sectioning through the middle of the carious lesion. The test specimens were treated with one drop of 38% SDF and the control with deionized water. The samples were stored in artificial saliva for 14 days at 37° C and the dentin surfaces were conditioned and restored with Fuji IX GP Extra. After 24 hours storage in artificial saliva, the specimens were prepared for testing of microtensile bond strength. Paired t -test was used to compare the mean bond strengths. The mode of failure was assessed with a stereomicroscope under 40× magnification. Results The mean microtensile strength for the test group was 7.39 MPa [standard deviation (SD ± 2.3)] and 7.20 MPa (SD ± 1.98) for the control group ( p > 0.05). The most common mode of failure was the mixed failure mode in both groups. Conclusion Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) does not adversely affect the bond strength between GIC applied to carious dentin.

“…Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been useful in clinical dentistry for the purpose of caries arrest and prevention [1,2]. The use of SDF and atraumatic restorative treatment or ART (the use of sealants to prevent caries and restorations to repair lesions) have been tremendously successful in arresting active caries, particularly in primary dentition [3,4]. Recent attention focused on SDF therapy due to the rapid and inexpensive nature of this formulation to quickly eliminate most cariogenic bacteria and promote remineralization, which has established useful parameters regarding the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and effective inhibitory concentrations (IC50) [5,6].…”

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been useful in clinical dentistry for the purpose of caries arrest and prevention. Although methods for the application of SDF are well-known among dental professionals, such as microbrush applications, few studies have explored the effect of light curing, which accelerates precipitation onto dentin, and whether this has any effect on the antimicrobial properties of SDF. To assess this technique, single (Streptococcus gordonii) and polymicrobial (mixed salivary) colonies were grown and plated using SDF applied to hydroxyapatite discs with and without treatment with curing light. Kirby–Bauer Zone of Inhibition assay results revealed no significant differences in the areas between the two treatment groups (SDF: 1.27 mm, SDF plus curing light: 1.25 mm), p = 0.887 in the single culture (S. gordonii) experiments. In addition, no significant differences were found between the two treatment groups (SDF: 1.26 mm, SDF plus curing light: 1.24 mm), p = 0.771 in the polymicrobial culture experiments. Although there may be specific properties associated with SDF induced following light curing, these differences do not appear to be associated with the antimicrobial properties affecting gram-positive or polymicrobial films.
