Dental caries is the most frequently seen oral lesion, and if left untreated, it can have a negative impact on children's oral health and quality of life by causing pain, severe lesions, malnutrition, and psychological repercussions. Although there are many treatment and prevention strategies, socioeconomic level, behavioural problems, and other factors can make it challenging to obtain the desired results. For patients who cannot receive typical restorative treatment, silver diamine fluoride combines the remineralizing and antibacterial properties of silver with fluoride to offer an alternative care pathway. The use of 38% SDF for both caries prevention and caries arrest has been advocated by many nations. SDF has been shown to be more effective as a caries-prevention strategy than fluoride varnishes and APF Gel. Present review of literature aim to discuss silver diamine fluoride in detail.

Sports competitions and recreational activities are practiced by infants, kids, and teenagers for their physical and mental health. Unfortunately, engaging in sports increases the chance of suffering trauma to the mouth's delicate and hard tissues, including lacerations to the lips, various injuries to the gingiva, tongue, or mucosa, chipped, luxated, or avulsed teeth, maxillary or mandibular fractures. The importance of the dentistry profession in connection to the prevention of dental and other orofacial sporting injuries has increased due to the popularity of contact sports and the encouraging of participation at a young age. Inculcating the prevention, management, and treatment of oral and face injuries, sports dentistry is the newest and most promising area of dentistry. Dentists should make it a point to tell parents about the orofacial damage caused by sports and about the different preventive measures that are available. They should also have solid clinical understanding of sports-related dentofacial injuries. In this article, we go over the different facets of sports-related injuries as well as the risk factors that go along with them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
