Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a colourless and odourless combination of silver and fluoride solution with caries arresting properties. Clinical and in-vitro trials have proven its preventive efficacy for caries in high-risk individuals, which is considered a minimally invasive approach for arresting caries progression in cavitated teeth. This chapter gives an overview of the rationale of caries management by SDF, the mechanism of action, and the current evidence for its effectiveness as an anti-caries agent. The safety of SDF use in humans and its various limitations are also explained in the chapter.
