Silver Diamine Fluoride

This hands-on workshop offers attendees an experience to use silver diamine fluoride as well as a brief review of the guidelines for usage in clinical dentistry. Based on systematic reviews of clinical trials the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry developed a guideline recommending the use of 38% SDF as part of a comprehensive management approach. This program reviews the scientific evidence for the use of SDF as a caries management tool. The mechanism of action is thought to be a result of the compound’s combined antimicrobial and remineralization properties. 

• incorporate silver diamine fluoride in everyday clinical practice
