Silver diamine fluoride has been used internationally for decades due to its antimicrobial and desensitizing properties. This therapeutic agent has only become available in the Unites States in the recent years and there is a lot of unclarity surrounding its use. As clinicians, it is vital for us to fully understand its benefits and embrace its usage as it can help us better care for our patients. In this CE webinar, we will discuss the mechanisms of action behind SDF, describing how and why it works as a desensitizer and a caries arrest agent. We will outline the best ways you can incorporate it into your treatment protocol and discuss the unique benefits it provides to patients of all ages, including children where SDF is used commonly, and adults where this tool is underutilized.

During this CE webinar, we will:
• Explain the mechanisms of action behind silver diamine fluoride
• Describe how SDF desensitizes and arrests caries
• Review the clinical application technique
• Gain an understanding of why SDF is a valuable tool in the general dentist's preventive/restorative toolkit
• Outline the benefits SDF provides to patients of all ages   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
