Chronic medical problems and polypharmacy…
Knowledge, Practices and Attitudes towards Silver Diamine Fluoride Therapy among Dentists in Japan: A Mixed Methods Study
In 2021, the World Health Organization included silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as an essential medicine to manage caries in adults and children.

This mixed methods study explored the knowledge, practices and attitudes towards SDF therapy among dentists promoting fluoride use in Japan. It also inves…
