Cavity Management Effectiveness and Feasibility of Silver Diamine Fluoride Solution and Sodium Fluoride Varnish in Children: One-Year Follow-Up Non-Inferiority Randomised Controlled Trial
After 1 year, a biannual application of SDF versus FV was not inferior in preventing new cavities, with high feasibility in community settings. This study supports the use of these fluoride therapies for young children in similar socio-economic contexts, recommending increasing fluoridated toothpaste affordability and including behaviour change strategies to improve oral health practices.
