SILVER DIAMINE FLUORIDE APPLICATION WITH AND WITHOUT PREOPERATIVE RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION IN 7–8-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN WITH EXTENSIVE CARIES: A PILOT RANDOMIZED CLINICAL STUDY

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a minimally invasive approach for arresting dental caries in children. Although radiographic examination may provide additional information about the depth of a carious lesion and its proximity to the pulp, it is unclear whether preoperative radiography provides a clinically relevant advantage before SDF application in children without clinical signs of pulpitis. To evaluate whether preoperative radiographic examination influences the short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of 38% silver diamine fluoride application in 7–8-year-old children with extensive caries in permanent posterior teeth and no clinical signs of pulpitis.
