Summary
Although black staining is considered a drawback that is clinically observed following SDF
application and is the main primary barrier for its use clinically . Child's behaviour and
cooperation cannot be controlled at a young age or in special health care needs cases.
Therefore, the best treatment modality will always be a simple, fast and painless procedure
and SDF is the best solution for those cases. Discolouration caused researchers to search for
a solution that will reduce or prevent discolouration using KI and GSH. A systematic review
was conducted in-vitro, and it showed the use of SDF with KI had reduced stains markedly,
potential advantages of minimal staining might be advantageous, along a short period.
However, studies with long-term follow-up would be required to provide evidence-based
guidelines for using SDF and KI formulations in routine clinical practice
