Patients whose cavities are treated with SDF get approximately 77% fewer new cavities compared to placebo or no treatment control groups.
SDF-treated caries lesions act as reservoirs for silver and fluoride, decreasing caries activity throughout the mouth.
SDF has twice the fluoride concentration as fluoride varnish, and therefore 8 times higher fluoride absorption potential (diffusion coefficient).
