Análise das propriedades químicas, mecânicas e físicas da dentina humana após aplicação de Diamino Fluoreto de Prata

Abstract

This master's dissertation aimed to investigate the effects of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) at different concentrations on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of sound dentin, contributing to a better understanding of its potential implications for healthy dental structures. SDF has been widely used in Dentistry due to its antimicrobial activity and its ability to arrest carious lesions, being considered an effective alternative in clinical contexts with limited access to conventional restorative treatments. However, its impact on sound dental tissues remains underexplored, particularly regarding the effects of varying concentrations and the safety of its preventive use. In this context, the present research led to the development of a scientific article that evaluated the effects of different SDF concentrations on sound dentin, through a standardized experimental protocol, statistical data analysis, and a discussion grounded in current literature. The preparation of the article involved a literature review, methodological design, laboratory procedures, and critical interpretation of the findings. Thus, this dissertation aims to provide scientific support for the conscious and safe use of SDF in both clinical and academic settings, promoting evidence-based dental practice.
