Methods: 144 School children aged 4-13 years old were examined in a mobile dental clinic as part of the school-based dental services program. Combined dft/DFT and Significant Caries Index were used to evaluate dental caries prevalence. Dental caries were recorded when cavitation was observed clinically or radiographically. The services provided to children included comprehensive diagnostic, preventive and restorative treatment. Results: The mean combined dft/DFT for all groups was 3.18. As the age increased, the mean decreased with no significant differences. The SCI for all age groups was significantly higher than combined dft/DFT. The caries prevalence for this school was 63. 9%. About 77% of children had untreated caries. Conclusion: The study reported high prevalence of caries experience and untreated caries. The SCI is designed to focus attention to high caries risk group; it is useful indicator and helps in targeting the preventive program for this group. IRB # 1819-49.

In 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US cleared SDF for reducing tooth sensitivity for adults 21 years and older. Professionals can use SDF off-label to arrest carious lesions same as using fluoride varnish to prevent caries. In 2016, a CDT code was approved for caries arresting medicaments to facilitate documentation and billing. Due to SDF’s safe, effective, inexpensive, and simplicity in application, it is considered an appropriate therapeutic agent to prevent and arrest caries use in community dental health programs. We present this review to summarize the mechanism of action, clinical application, uses, advantages, safety and adverse effects, and codes in dentistry.
