Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: “Lessons learned” are reported from a clinical trial comparing conventional restorative treatment to management of caries in the primary dentition using silver nitrate. Key findings include: Silver nitrate provides an effective means for arresting caries in the primary dentition; some lesions progress and new lesions appear despite silver nitrate application; radiographs are important; there can be collateral benefit with silver nitrate application; and interproximal application of silver nitrate can be a challenge.
