Abstract
Caries is one of the most prevalent diseases in world. It occurs most commonly in early childhood; thus, early childhood caries not only affect the individual's oral health but has psychological impact as well. Children cooperation for dental procedure is always questionable therefore minimum invasive procedures gain quick popularity in pediatric dentistry. Silver di amine fluoride (SDF) plays a pivotal role in arresting early childhood caries.
