Summary

This study looks at two ways to treat cavities in children aged 2 to 5: a silver liquid painted on the tooth (SDF) or a simple filling (ART). The goal is to see which treatment kids and parents like better and which works best to stop cavities from getting worse. About 156 children from kindergartens will take part, and their teeth will be checked after 6 and 12 months.
