Use of silver diamine fluoride for the maintenance of dental prostheses in a high caries-risk patient: A medical management approach
2017
Abstract A technique for using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as part of a regimen to help maintain dental prostheses in a patient with scleroderma and at high risk of caries is presented. Medically compromised, xerostomic, or elderly patients generally face greater risk of caries and specifically with prosthetic retainer teeth. SDF is a minimally invasive solution to this problem. A technique is described for using SDF to arrest and prevent new caries with the goal of maintaining fixed and removable prostheses and supporting teeth in a cost-effective manner.
