Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a simple, non-invasive treatment used to control dental caries. It combines the antibacterial action of silver with the remineralizing effect of fluoride, helping to halt the progression of tooth decay and strengthen affected tooth structure. SDF is especially useful in children, elderly patients, and individuals with limited access to dental care, as it can be applied quickly without the need for complex procedures. Although it may cause black staining of treated lesions, its effectiveness, affordability, and ease of use make it a valuable tool in preventive and minimally invasive dentistry.
