Silver Diamine Fluoride: What Does the Current Evidence Say?

Abstract

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a colorless alkaline liquid containing silver particles and 38% (44,800 ppm) fluoride ion. SDF consists of 25% silver, 8% ammonia, 5% fluoride, and 62% water at pH 10. This is ultimately referred to as 38% SDF. Silver Diamine Fluoride is a clinically applied treatment that helps in controlling active dental caries and aids in preventing further progression of the disease [1].
