Silver Diamine Fluoride Staining With Potassium Iodide: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Staining after silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment limits treatment acceptability but is also used as a clinical indicator of lesion stability. Potassium iodide (KI) has been postulated to modify SDF staining. Understanding the natural history and resultant shade of SDF/KI-treated lesions will inform clinical decision-making. This study describes the change in colour of carious lesions in primary teeth treated with SDF and KI.

Methods

One hundred carious lesions in primary teeth were treated with SDF + KI (Riva Star, SDI) and followed up over 6 months. Lesion shade was determined using standardised intraoral photography and broadly categorised into 4 shades: yellow, light brown, dark brown, and black. Lesions were digitally isolated, and colour was evaluated u
