ToothMATE Silver Diamine Fluoride ( SDF )

ToothMATE Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a topical liquid used to arrest active dental caries non-invasively, giving Egyptian dentists an evidence-based, needle-free option for treating decay — especially useful with young or uncooperative children.

Clinical Uses

• Arresting active carious lesions in primary and permanent teeth
• Managing early childhood caries without local anesthesia or cavity preparation
• Reducing root surface hypersensitivity in adult patients
• Interim caries management prior to definitive restoration

Key Features

• Arrests active caries and helps prevent its progression toward the pulp
• Remineralizes soft caries, converting it into harder, more arrested caries
• Reduces root hypersensitivity in adult patients
• Enables caries treatment without anesthesia or drilling — especially valuable for uncooperative pediatric patients

How to Use

1. Isolate the tooth and dry the carious surface.
2. Apply SDF directly to the lesion with a microbrush, avoiding excess contact with soft tissue.
3. Allow the recommended contact time before dismissing the patient or restoring the tooth.
4. Re-apply at recommended follow-up intervals to monitor arrest of the lesion.

FAQ

Does SDF stain the tooth?
Yes, SDF is known to cause dark staining of the arrested carious lesion; this is a recognized trade-off for its non-invasive caries-arresting action and should be discussed with patients beforehand.

Is anesthesia needed to apply SDF?
No, SDF is applied topically without anesthesia or tooth preparation, making it well suited for uncooperative or very young patients.

Can SDF be used on adults?
Yes, in addition to arresting caries, it is also used to reduce root surface hypersensitivity in adult patients.

Does SDF replace a permanent restoration?
No, SDF arrests and remineralizes the lesion; a definitive restoration may still be placed afterward depending on the clinical case.
