On this episode, sponsored by Elevate Oral Care, Matt explores recently published research comparing the effectiveness of SDF (silver diamine fluoride) to sealants as a preventive for occlusal caries with Ryan R. Ruff, PhD, MPH, and Jeremy H. Keeper, DDS, PhD. You may be surprised by the results. Matt discusses study design and outcomes with Dr. Ruff, a principal investigator of the CariedAway school-based research network, followed by a discussion of the clinical applications of these findings and other non-invasive caries prevention and treatment strategies with Dr. Keeper, Director of Clinical Innovation at CareQuest Innovation Partners.
