Fagamin Silver Diamine Fluoride 38% Caries Protecting Solution

Description

Silver Diamine Fluoride 38% Caries Protecting Solution Caries Remover fagmin

COMPOSITION :

Silver diamine fluoride contains approximately 24-28 % (weight/volume) silver and 5-6 % (weight/volume)

Research on use of Silver Diamine Fluoride says exposure to one drop of SDF orally would result in less fluoride ion content than is present in a 0.25 mL topical treatment of fluoride varnish.

The main disadvantage of SDF is its esthetic result (i.e., permanently blackens enamel and dentinal caries lesions. It creates a temporary henna-appearing tattoo if allowed to come in contact with skin). Skin pigmentation is temporary since the silver does not penetrate the dermis

Practical Applications in the following cases :

• High caries-risk patients with anterior or posterior active cavitated lesions
• behavioral or medical management challenges
• Difficult to treat cavitated dental caries lesions
• Patients without access to or with difficulty accessing dental care
• Active cavitated caries lesions with no clinical signs of pulp involvement.
