ABSTRACT
Objectives: the management of a carious lesion includes complete mechanical removal of the infected, demineralized tooth structure. the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of SDF on dentin remineralization of carious primary molars in vitro. subjects and methods: A total of 27 carious dentin specimens were used. For Remineralization Test: A total of 27 dentine specimens were used for this test, 18 carious dentine specimens, 9 sound dentine specimens and were divided into three main group (n=9) as follow: Group I: Sound dentine specimens without SDF (Negative control group). Group II: Carious dentine specimens without SDF (positive control group). Group III: Carious dentine specimens with SDF (test group). Results: the highest values of Ca/P ratio was statistically significant and recorded for SDF (1.92±0.35), followed by the sound dentine (1.79±0.02). the effect of silver diamine fluoride on carious dentin of primary molars was evaluated including dentin remineralization. Conclusion: SDF was able to remineralize the carious primary dentine.
