Abstract
The present invention relates to an anti-caries composition that includes Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and a carrier, and methods for using the composition. In particular, the composition includes SDF in an amount between about 1% and about 40% by weight; and a carrier (e.g., natural adhesive, a synthetic adhesive, a drying adhesive, an emulsion adhesive, silicone, copal, glass ionomer, cyanoacrylate, composite resin, latex, epoxy, silicone, polyurethane, denture adhesives, or variants thereof or any combination thereof.The methods of the present invention relate to arresting caries or reducing the number of active caries lesions. The steps include applying the anti-caries SDF composition to one or more tooth surfaces for about 1-5 minutes, and rinsing the composition from the tooth surface. Another method of the present invention relates to applying a SDF composition to the tooth surface, curing the composition, to thereby treat caries. Caries is arrested or the number of active caries lesions is reduced, as compared to an individual whose tooth surface is not subjected to the SDF composition.
