Cariile la copii, oprite în doar 10 secunde cu un tratament simplu. Ce au descoperit cercetătorii

A study involving 830 children shows that silver diamine fluoride can halt cavities in over half of cases with a quick application. This treatment, which takes about 10 seconds, is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia. Researchers emphasize the need for rigorous evidence to support its effectiveness and safety, especially for young children. The study found that SDF stopped cavity progression in 54% of cases compared to 22.5% for placebo. While SDF is quick and easy to apply, it does leave a permanent dark stain on treated teeth. The findings suggest potential for broader use in primary care settings, pending proper training for healthcare providers.
