Phase 2

Recruiting

Brief Summary: Dental caries isthe multifactorial disease. Silver Diamine Fluoride is an inexpensiblemedicament applied topically for the treatment of dental caries. Topicalapplication of Silver Diamine Fluoridehas gained much attention in the past decade this may be due to ease ofapplication and low cost of Silver Diamine Fluoride. SDF can arrest the development of caries inthe deciduous dentition and prevent caries in first permanent molars . The aim of thepresent study is to evaluate the antibacterial, antiplaque and anticaries effects of silver diamine fluoride and fluoride varnish in children and objectives are as follows

ToTo compare placebo (normal saline) controled effects of clinical application ofsilver diamine fluoride (SDF) and Fluoride varnish on , plaque index score andsalivary microbial count (CFU), using selective media for streptococcus mutansat 72 hours, 3 months and 6 months in 12-14 years old pediatric patients.

ToTo study and compare effect on dental caries occurance after 6 months and 12months of application of Silver Diamine Fluoride and fluoride varnish using ICDAScriteria.

To To study andcompare the role of Silver Diamine Fluoride in reducing cariogenic microfloraand its use in caries prevention.

To Toestablish the role of fluoride in reducing cariogenic microflora and its usesin caries prevention.
