The antibacterial efficacy of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is not modulated by potassium iodide (KI) supplements: A study on in-situ plaque biofilms using viability real-time PCR with propidium monoazide

Abstract: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is commonly used to arrest caries lesions, especially in early childhood caries. Recently, it was suggested that SDF can be combined with potassium iodide (KI) to minimize the discoloration of demineralized dentine associated with SDF application. However, the antibacterial efficacy of SDF alone or combined with KI on in-situ biofilm is unknown. Hence, we compared the anti-plaque biofilm efficacy of two different commercially available SDF solutions, with or… Show more

“…Abdullah et al [ 59 ] tested the antimicrobial efficacy of SDF, KI, and SDF/KI on in-situ biofilms. Five participants were instructed to wear a maxillary intraoral appliance, each having six removable wells for biofilm collection, which were removed after 6 hours.…”

“…It is unclear whether the sample size in those studies was sufficiently large to capture the clinical difference of application of KI post-SDF on tooth color. The studies by Karched et al [ 60 ] and Abdullah et al [ 59 ] were also limited in their sample size, each having only five participants.…”
