Abstract

Objective: To evaluate early caries control results of Silver diamine Fluoride (SDF) combined with Potassium Iode (KI) on a group of children at Phuc Dong kindergarten, Long Bien, Hanoi. Subjects: 87 children 4-6 years old with at least two progressive caries lesions of baby teeth with similar properties. Methods: Controlled clinical trial. The study evaluated the effectiveness of intervention with SDF combined with KI and a control group intervention with SDF. The caries status was assessed through clinical examination according to ICCMS, and recorded the color of cavities by taking pictures by phone. Results: 87 children participated in the study, 62.1% of boys. 124 teeth on the right side of the jaw were treated with SDF combined with KI. The rate of decayed teeth stopped working after 6 months of SDF +KI intervention is 87.9%. Color of caries lesions after intervention with SDF+KI: 8 (7%) teeth turn yellow, 45 (39.5%) teeth turn brown, 61 (53.5%) teeth turn black; Conclusion: SDF +KI is effective in controlling caries; SDF +KI causes caries lesions to turn mostly black and brown.
