Effect Of Silverdiamine Fluoride Gel, Sodium Fluoride With CPP-ACP, APF On Early Childhood Caries - A Randomised Controlled Trial
Sponsor: University of Jazan
Summary
Early Childhood Caries (ECC) remains a global public health concern, necessitating minimally invasive, fluoride-based alternatives to conventional restorative therapy. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), Sodium Fluoride with Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (NaF + CPP-ACP), and Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride (APF) gel are widely employed chemotherapeutic agents; however, comparative clinical evidence of their effectiveness in ECC management remains limited. This randomized controlled clinical trial will evaluate and compare the efficacy of SDF gel, NaF + CPP-ACP, and APF gel in arresting and preventing ECC.
