Abstract
Aim: To assess and compare the post-operative pain after application of Silver Diamine Fluoride
(SDF) 38% in cavitated primary molars, in relation to Interim Restorative Therapy (IRT) .
Methodology: The study was performed on 20 carious primary molars (10 in each group) in
children of age 4-6 years attending the outpatient clinic in Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public
Health Department- Faculty of Dentistry -Cairo University. Clinical and radiographic examination
were performed for each molar to confirm their adherence to the eligibility criteria. Partial
excavation of caries on the walls of the cavity was done for each molar and then in group (A) SDF
was applied in two visits with one-week interval, then Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Restoration
(RMGI) was applied to the cavity. While, in group (B) Resin Modified Glass Ionomer restoration
was applied immediately after partial caries excavation. Clinical and radiographic examination
were done at three and six months follow-up periods for both groups.
vi
Results: In both groups, 100% of patients had no complications at three and six months
follow up periods; except for 10% of patients experienced failure of restoration at three
months in group B. The results showed insignificant differences between groups regarding
clinical and radiographic outcomes at both three and six months.
Conclusions: Both Silver Diamine Fluoride and Interim Restorative Therapy were clinically
and radiographically successful when used in primary molars with cavitated dentin carious
lesions.
