Description

Preva SDF – Silver Diamine Fluoride Solution, 38%

Preva SDF 38% Silver Diamine Fluoride Solution is a topical dental solution for professional caries management. Dentists apply it directly to active carious lesions in primary and permanent teeth to help arrest the caries process.

The formulation contains 38% w/v Silver Diamine Fluoride [Ag(NH₃)₂F]. Silver provides antimicrobial activity, while fluoride supports remineralization of tooth structure. Therefore, Preva SDF combines these properties in a topical solution for managing active dental caries.

Dentists can use Preva SDF for active carious lesions, root caries and patients at high risk of developing additional lesions. In addition, it provides a caries-management option for pediatric, geriatric and medically compromised patients when conventional restorative treatment may be difficult, delayed or temporarily unsuitable.
