Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Silver Diamine Fluoride Versus Light-Cured Silver Diamine Fluoride in Carious Primary Molars

Sponsor: Cairo University

Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic performance of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) with 38% silver diamine fluoride followed by light curing in children with carious primary molars. Children aged 4-8 years with active caries in mandibular primary molars will be included in the study. One group will receive 38% silver diamine fluoride followed by LED light curing, while the comparison group will receive 38% silver diamine fluoride without light curing. The primary outcome is postoperative pain, assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes include caries lesion arrest, lesion extension and severity, signs of infection, pain on percussion, pathological tooth mobility, and radiographic changes. Participants will be followed for 12 months. The findings may help determine whether adding light curing to silver diamine fluoride application improves the management of caries in primary molars.
