Key Points

  • To compare the effectiveness of 38% silver diamine fluoride and atraumatic restorative treatment in halting dental caries in paediatric patients.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies
  • Compared the efficacy of two interventions: silver diamine fluoride and atraumatic restorative treatment
  • Analyzed data on arresting dental caries in children.
  • 38% silver diamine fluoride was found to be slightly more effective than atraumatic restorative treatment
  • Both interventions are viable options for treating dental caries in paediatric patients
  • Further studies are needed for long-term effectiveness evaluation.

Abstract

38% SDF is an effective intervention for halting dental caries in paediatric patients, slightly outperforming ART. Both interventions may be considered for paediatric patients. Further standardised research with extended follow-up is needed.
