Effect of silver diamine fluoride and nanosilver on salivary bacterial counts in children with early childhood caries: a randomized controlled clinical trial
After one application, children with ECC showed significant decrease in salivary bacteria, with no difference between the two agents regarding their antibacterial effect. NSF can serve as a viable option in ECC management in that it provides comparable antibacterial effects to 38% SDF without inducing tooth discoloration. This trial was prospectively registered on the clinicaltrials.gov registry with ID: NCT05221749 on 03/02/2022.
