[Introduction]

The problems and costs of the burden of dental caries bedevil all countries around the world. A 2010 systematic analysis revealed that dental caries was the most prevalent disease among 291 medical conditions, affecting more than three billion people globally [1]. Tooth decay is known for its high costs [2]. With the high price of caries treatment, people tend to leave their teeth without treatment, resulting in severe pain, infection, and eventual loss of the affected tooth. Undoubtedly, losing teeth has a major impact on the quality of life by affecting individuals’ nutrition, speaking, and aesthetic appearance [3].

Fortunately, there are several prevention methods that have been proven to be useful both in the prevention of caries and in arresting them, and there are several methods commonly used in dentistry. First, pit and fissure sealant is used to stop the development of bacteria that cause tooth decay in the fissures of posterior teeth. Glass ionomer cement (GIC) and resin-based sealants (RBSs) are the two most common forms [4]. The penetration of flowable composites can be influenced by different factors when they are used as fissure sealants. Heat and sonic vibration seem to significantly increase the penetration of the flowable composite when compared to the conventional method. Kim et al. revealed that the use of sonic vibration reduces the viscosity of flowable composite, hence improving penetration [5]. Second, fluoride varnish is a thin layer applied directly to the teeth. The three primary fluoride varnishes on the market are Bifluoride, Fluor Protector, and Duraphat [6]. Lastly, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) can be applied directly on carious lesions to slow the progression of caries or on caries-free surfaces to prevent caries. However, a single application of SDF is insufficient to arrest the progression of caries, and repetition is required [7]. Furthermore, SDF has been reported to be cost-effective when used as an adjunct to traditional restorative treatment [8].
