Nano-silver fluoride vs Not specified

Arrest of dentine caries · Children with active dentine caries

One randomised trial found nano-silver fluoride arrested dentine caries without the black staining seen with silver diamine fluoride; ungraded.

30% silver diamine fluoride vs Not specified

Arrest of dentine caries · Children with active dentine caries in primary teeth

One study reported 30% silver diamine fluoride effectively arrested dentine caries in primary teeth; ungraded.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF; 30% or 38%) vs Fluoride varnish

Arrest of dentine caries · Preschool children with active dentine caries in primary teeth (mean age 3.4-4.0 years)

Silver diamine fluoride was about 2.5 times more likely than sodium fluoride to arrest dentine caries surfaces at 18 months (pooled OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.25 to 5.10; 2 RCTs), although between-study heterogeneity was high (I2=90.3%); certainty of evidence was not formally graded.

12% silver diamine fluoride (SDF), single (one-off) application vs Not specified

Arrest of dentine caries · Children with active dentine caries

One trial found a single application of 12% silver diamine fluoride did not arrest dentine caries; ungraded.

38% silver diamine fluoride vs Active dentine caries at baseline (single-arm before vs after proportion)

Arrest of dentine caries · Children with dentine caries in primary and permanent teeth

Professionally applied 38% silver diamine fluoride arrested about two-thirds of active dentine caries surfaces in children (pooled proportion 65.9%, 95% CI 41.2% to 90.7%; 5 studies); certainty was not GRADE-rated and heterogeneity was very high (I2=96%).
