Silver diamine fluoride is a topical medicament (drug) used to treat and prevent dental caries (cavities) and relieve dentinal hypersensitivity.[2][3] Silver diamine fluoride has been available in many countries including China, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and other for many decades. The product was cleared for sale in the USA in August 2014 by the FDA as a class II medical device for the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.[4]

Clinical evidence

6 randomized clinical trials document a profound effect in arresting cavities, simply by drying the cavity and then applying this material.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

2 randomized clinical trials document a profound effect in preventing cavities, by application to other surfaces that have cavities.[5][6][7]

4 randomized clinical trials document a profound effect in preventing cavities, simply by drying the tooth surface and then applying this material.[11][12][13][14]

A 2016 systematic review of the scientific literature and protocols for use was published in the California Dental Journal reported:[15]

Silver diamine fluoride stains cavities black. A completely darkened cavity is a strong indicator of success.[14]

Precautions

Silver diamine fluoride will stain most surfaces black. Skin and soft tissue will discolor within minutes to hours after contact and fade away within a few days. Dentin and enamel with no demineralization present will receive surface (pellicle) stains that can be removed with pumice, while demineralized tooth structure will stain more permanently black. Silver diamine fluoride is corrosive to metal and glass. Contact to metal produces hydrogen gas and hydrogen fluoride while contact with glass will create silicone tetra-fluoride. It is a light sensitive clear liquid with a strong ammonia scent and should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place in a plastic container (LDPE or HDPE).[16]

Nomenclature

Differences in nomenclature have led to confusion around this material. Silver diamine fluoride is also known as:
