Many clinicians believe that once a carious lesion is treated with silver diamine fluoride, restorative treatment is no longer necessary. The truth is, SDF does not restore the form and function of the tooth, therefore, in most cases, the restoration is still needed. It is important for clinicians to understand the benefits of incorporating SDF as a standard part of the restorative process for all patients. SDF buys time, preserves healthy tooth structure, and provides you and your patients with more flexible treatment options. During this CE webinar, we will present specific case examples to show the value SDF adds to restorative care.
