Summary

This study tests whether a special silver liquid (silver diamine fluoride) can stop tooth decay in elderly people living in nursing homes. Sixty participants will either get the silver treatment or a placebo, and their teeth will be checked after 6 and 12 months. The goal is to improve oral health and quality of life without the need for drilling or complex dental procedures.
