Ideally e-SDF helps in Preventing and arresting dental caries & immediate relief from dental hypersensitivity. A revolution in preventive and non-invasive dentistry. An FDA-approved antibiotic liquid clinically applied to control and arrest active dental caries, e-SDF is a safe, painless alternative to traditional cavity drilling procedures.

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 exact amount of silver and fluoride present in one drop of SDF is determined by the specific gravity of the liquid and the dropper used.

The Power of Silver and Fluoride
Silver acts as an anti-microbial agent that simultaneously strengthens the underlying protective layer of your teeth called dentin. Fluoride is the active ingredient that puts a stop to tooth decay and helps prevent additional decay from appearing.

What is Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)?

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a liquid substance used to help prevent caries from forming, growing, or spreading to other teeth. Its safe, painless alternative to traditional cavity drilling procedures.

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) was first approved for use in Japan more than 80 years ago. SDF was approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2014 for use in the United States

The main disadvantage of SDF is its esthetic result (i.e., permanently blackens enamel and dentinal caries lesions and 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
