Hiệu quả của Silver diamine fluoride trong điều trị sâu răng ở trẻ 3 tuổi người Mường tỉnh Hòa Bình

The study was conducted among 234 Muong children at the age of 3 to evaluate the effectiveness of dental caries treatment with 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Materials and methods: This was the randomized controlled clinical trial, in which the experimental group was treated with SDF 38%, while the control group used toothpaste containing 0.145% fluoride. The outcomes were assessed after 6 months and 12 months. Results: The percentages of managed progressive dental caries in the group treated with SDF and the control group were 77,7% and 12,3% after 6 months, as well as 87,9% and 9,9% after 12 months, respectively. The numbers of prevented surfaces regarding dental caries in the group treating with 38% SDF and the control group were 3,91 and 0,63 after 6 months, along with 4,43 and 0,50 after 12 months, respectively. The laser-induced fluorescence indices of the group treating with 38% SDF and the control group were 31,1 and 85,1 after 6 months, compared to 26,7 and 88,5 after 12 months, respectively. Conclusion: 38% SDF is more effective than fluoride toothpaste, therefore, further research should be carried out in order to determine specific treatment guidelines used in clinical practice.
