Summary

This study tests whether a gel form of silver diamine fluoride works as well as the liquid form to stop cavities in preschool children. About 630 healthy children with at least one cavity will receive the gel or solution every six months for 30 months. The goal is to see if the gel is easier to apply and just as effective at hardening cavities.
