Abstract
Abstract
Aim: To compare the success rate regarding esthetics, parenteral satisfaction, and oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) after treatment of early childhood caries with Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)compared to conventional Glass ionomer Restoration (CGI).
Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA statement by searching on the following electronic databases: PubMed, Cochrane.
Results: From the studies included in this systematic review, two studies showed significant difference in color stability between SDF and CGI. Two studies showed no significant difference in parental satisfaction with either SDF or Glass Ionomer. Regarding the Oral Health Related Quality of Life, two studies showed no significant difference with both materials.
Conclusion: The use of SDF is a more conservative way to treat early childhood caries than the drill and fill way using glass ionomer. SDF causes discoloration and is less color stable than the GIC, it is recommended to use SDF followed by delayed restoration with GIC or resin composite for best esthetics and conservatism. Every effort should be directed towards parents’ education on the importance of non- invasive treatment.
