Sumario:Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is increasingly used as a non-invasive treatment modality for caries management, particularly in pediatric and geriatric populations. Understanding its impact on the dentin-pulp complex is crucial for assessing its efficacy and safety in preserving pulp health while arresting carious lesions. SDF application directly affects the dentin-pulp complex by interacting with dentin, potentially influencing pulp health and function. Exploring how SDF interacts with dentin and its effects on pulp tissue would provide valuable insights into the dentin-pulp complex. Also, dentists and clinicians need to be aware of the potential effects of SDF on the dentin-pulp complex when considering its use in caries management protocols. Discussing clinical considerations, such as indications, contraindications, application techniques, and patient selection criteria, would be valuable for dental practitioners.
