Abstract:
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been demonstrated to be effective in arresting caries lesions and, recently, clinical trials have assessed the effectiveness of SDF as a medicament for indirect pulp therapy (IPT) in primary teeth. This review aims to summarize the literature related to the use of SDF and find out if SDF can be used as an effective material for IPT. A literature search was undertaken on electronic databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, which elicited 50 studies employing different materials in the IPT of primary molars; however, of them, only four clinical trials used SDF as indirect pulp capping (IPC) material. SDF has the potential to be a useful material for IPT in primary teeth. It is a handy choice for pediatric dentists due to its minimum invasiveness, ease of application, and ability to stop the progression of caries. However, more studies are needed to determine whether SDF can be used routinely for IPT and whether it can even replace the currently available materials, as well as to fully realize its potential and establish criteria for its ideal application in IPT procedures.
摘要:
氟化银二胺(SDF)已被证明可有效阻止龋齿病变,最近,临床试验评估了SDF作为乳牙间接牙髓治疗(IPT)药物的有效性.这篇综述旨在总结与使用SDF相关的文献,并找出SDF是否可以用作IPT的有效材料。对包括PubMed在内的电子数据库进行了文献检索,MEDLINE,ScienceDirect,和谷歌学者,这引发了50项研究,在初级磨牙的IPT中使用不同的材料;然而,其中,只有4项临床试验使用SDF作为间接盖髓(IPC)材料。SDF有可能成为乳牙中IPT的有用材料。由于其最小的侵入性,它是儿科牙医的方便选择,易于应用,以及阻止龋齿发展的能力。然而,需要更多的研究来确定SDF是否可以常规用于IPT,以及它是否可以取代目前可用的材料,以及充分发挥其潜力,并为其在IPT程序中的理想应用建立标准。
