- Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and fluoride varnish on bracket bounded teeth and its correlation with salivary calcium, phosphate, fluoride, and pH. Methodology: An in vitro study on 42 human permanent teeth was done. The root surface of the teeth was coated with acid-resistant varnish, followed by brackets bonding using composite resin. After that, the remaining tooth surfaces were coated with fluoride agents based on the groups. Teeth were subjected to demineralization using artificial caries solution. Each sample was kept in a freshly prepared 15 mL demineralizing solution. Demineralization was done for 72 h at 37°C in the incubator. During the remineralization period, each sample was placed in freshly prepared artificial saliva. This artificial saliva was changed every 24 h to maintain the ionic balance and pH of the solution. The pH of saliva was determined by pH papers. Then, saliva was prepared by centrifugation for 10 min at 3000 RPM, and the supernatant was used for the biochemical assay of saliva. Salivary calcium, phosphorus, and fluoride levels were measured by biochemical assay of saliva. Likely Outcome: Application of SDF along with fluoride varnish has better efficacy in reducing enamel demineralization and white spot lesions.
