Fluoride Delivered via a Topical Application of 38% SDF and 5% NaF
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to compare the amount of fluoride delivered via a topical application of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution and 5% sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish as well as to determine the amount of 38% SDF solution delivered using various micro-applicators.

| description | Objectives: The objectives of this study were to compare the amount of fluoride delivered via a topical application of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution and 5% sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish as well as to determine the amount of 38% SDF solution delivered using various micro-applicators. Methods: The weights of 38% SDF (Saforide) and 5% NaF (Duraphat) applied to the occlusal surface of an extracted human upper first premolar with a regular-size (2.50-mm tip diameter) micro-applicator were measured using an electronic-analytical balance. Afterwards, the weight of 38% SDF applied to a premolar using the micro-applicators of 5 common brands (Premium Plus, 3M, Dentsply, Elevate Oral Care, and SDI) were studied. The tip diameter of each micro-applicator was measured under a microscope. The weights of the delivered fluoride and silver were also calculated. Results: The mean weights of the fluoride delivered via the SDF solution and NaF varnish were 0.25 ± 0.07 mg and 0.49 ± 0.08 mg, respectively (P < .001). In addition, the tip diameters of the micro-applicators ranged from 1.89 ± 0.03 mm to 2.76 ± 0.02 mm. The mean weights of the fluoride delivered per application of 38% SDF using different applicators ranged from 0.13 ± 0.06 mg to 0.30 ± 0.09 mg, whereas the mean weights of the silver ranged from 0.76 ± 0.32 mg to 1.68 ± 0.50 mg. The weights of the delivered 38% SDF solution varied with the brand and with the tip diameters of the dental micro-applicators (P < .001). Conclusions: The fluoride of the 38% SDF solution delivered topically was significantly less than that of 5% NaF varnish. Moreover, the amount of SDF solution delivered depends on the brand and size of the micro-applicators. |
