COURSE OUTLINE
Since its development in the 1960s, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been widely used and studied across the globe. Over the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in the use of SDF for the management of high-caries-risk patients, medically compromised patients, in settings with limited resources, and as part of techniques such as SMART (Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Technique). For the first time, a recommendation on the use of SDF has also been included in the recent 2019 ADA Fluoride Guidelines. Furthermore, the advent of COVID-19, and the need to minimise aerosols, has led to further traction and debate on the role of SDF in dentistry. This presentation will shed light on the history behind SDF, the mechanisms of action of SDF, the current evidence from both invitro and clinical research, and discuss its rationale for use in contemporary dental practice.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Following this presentation, delegates should be able to understand: • the history and mechanisms of action of SDF • the indications and contraindications for the use of SDF • how to use and apply SDF and informed consent issues.
