Effectiveness of Silver Diamine Fluoride in Arresting Early Approximal Carious Lesion Progression: A Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Silver Diamine Fluoride 38% and Group 2 (Placebo) for Dental Caries. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot trial is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial with two parallel arms: an intervention group using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and a placebo group (control). 60 eligible healthy adults will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups.
