Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the efficacy of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in stopping root caries among older adults.
  • Application of 38% SDF to root caries in older adults
  • Assessment of variables such as age, gender, and oral health behavior
  • Evaluation of different tooth types and lesion characteristics
  • 38% SDF significantly arrests root caries in community-dwelling older adults
  • Effectiveness is independent of demographic and oral health factors
  • High efficacy observed across various tooth types and lesion attributes

Abstract

It is concluded that the application of 38% SDF is highly effective in arresting root caries of community-dwelling older adults, irrespective of age, gender, oral health-related behaviour, tooth type (anterior/posterior), tooth position (upper/lower), lesion surface (single/multiple), lesion size and depth.
