Silver Diamine Fluoride Application on Root Caries Fillings
Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the influence of prior silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application on root caries fillings. The main questions to answer 1. Compare the success of fillings placed in dental root decay that have prior SDF application and those without prior SDF application; 2. Compare patient-based subjective evaluations on the two approaches mentioned above in treating root caries. Participants will be allocated into two group 1. prior SDF application before receiving root caries fillings 2. directly receiving root caries fillings without any SDF application

SDF solution application
silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution is highly effective in stopping and arresting the progress of decay in dental roots of older adults. The American Dental Association (ADA) has published a guideline based on the up-to-date evidence to support the use of SDF for managing tooth decay. As a non-invasive procedure, application of SDF is simple, quick, painless and non-aerosol generated.
Tonic water
Tonic water will be used as a placebo to mimic the SDF solution.
