Description:
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a valuable minimally invasive approach for managing dental caries, with growing use across clinical and community settings. As its use continues to expand, questions remain about when and where it is most effective, how it can be integrated into practice workflows, and its role in improving access to care.
Join CareQuest Institute and MCD Global Health for a webinar that will explore how SDF — from application technique to community-wide implementation — can improve access to care and promote efficient, sustainable care delivery. Expert speakers will share evidence, policy developments, and real-world implementation strategies behind SDF adoption, along with examples of how interprofessional models are extending its use beyond traditional dental settings to reach underserved populations.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the evidence, guidelines, and policy developments on the use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF).
- Identify strategies for integrating SDF into clinical practice that promotes accessible and sustainable care delivery.
- Explain how interprofessional models are using SDF beyond traditional dental settings to improve access to oral health care.
