Long-term effects of silver diamine fluoride on the dentin-pulp area in primary teeth
Official title: Evaluation of the Long-term Effect of Silver Diamine Fluoride on the Dentin-Pulp Complex in Primary Teeth: A Histological Study
Run by Cairo University · NCT07586631 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at whether teeth previously treated with SDF plus resin-modified glass ionomer or with resin-modified glass ionomer alone stay healthy in the long term for children.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children with primary teeth that have been treated for dentin caries without pulp involvement, specifically those who received SDF followed by RMGI or RMGI alone.
✕Probably not a fit
Teeth with signs of infection or other complications may not show additional benefit from retrospective analysis of past treatments.

What this trial studies
This observational study will identify children with primary teeth that had dentin caries without pulp involvement and were previously treated with either SDF followed by resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) or RMGI alone. Parents and children will be informed about the detailed procedures and consent/assent obtained prior to any data or tooth use. Records from the Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health department at Cairo University will be reviewed to describe long-term outcomes related to the dentin-pulp complex. No experimental interventions are described; the study analyzes existing treatment histories to understand durability and health of the treated teeth.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could clarify which prior treatment approach may be associated with better long-term integrity of the dentin-pulp complex in primary teeth.
How similar studies have gone: Previous observational work in this area has provided associations but causal conclusions remain limited; this study continues to explore long-term outcomes in a similar patient population.
