Abstract:   (201 Views)
Background and aim: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an efficient cariostatic agent with the main disadvantage of tooth staining. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of glutathione (GSH) in reducinng SDF-induced tooth discoloration in primary teeth.
Materials and methods: This in-vitro study was performed on 18 extracted primary canines with dentinal caries. Samples were randomly allocated into two treatment groups: SDF 38% (n=9) and SDF 38% mixed with GSH 20% (n=9). Color measurements were performed at four time points: baseline and days 1, 14, and 30 post-treatment using a spectrophotometer and the CIE L*a*b* system, and color changes (ΔE) were reported. Shapiro–Wilk and Independent T tests were used for statistical analysis.
Results: The mean color change (ΔE) values were significantly higher in group1 (SDF) than in group2 (SDF + GSH) at all time points (p <0.001).
Conclusion: The use of glutathione can effectively reduce SDF-induced tooth discoloration in primary teeth and may be used as an adjunctive agent to improve the esthetic outcomes of SDF treatment.
