Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
38% silver diamine flouride. The participants in the Group A receive min. 0.1ml of single application of SDF on each tooth with root caries for at least 1 minute, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The teeth are isolated with cotton rolls and gently dried. dentist will apply SDF with a disposable microbrush. the duration of visit is approximately 15 -20 minutes.
In our study, a treatment approach involving two visits is utilized. During the initial visit, the dentin undergoes a slight brown discoloration as a result of the application of SDF to root caries lesion. On next visit after a week, the root caries display darker color and increased hardness. Thus facilitating cavity preparation and subsequent composite restoration. This protocol ensures that the visual and tactile criteria are adequate for assessing the caries status on the second visit

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
chi square test and frequency. 90 patients with caries lesions are assigned to two groups: Group A received 38% SDF, and Group B received 5% NaF sodium fluoride varnish. Follow-up assessments are conducted at one month, evaluating caries arrest through clinical examinations and patient-reported outcomes.
