Effectiveness of Tooth-colored Restorative Materials in Masking Discoloration Caused by Silver Diamine Fluoride: A Systematic Review of
Review in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aims and background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a minimally invasive and cost-effective agent widely used for caries arrest, particularly in pediatric dentistry. However, its primary drawback is the irreversible black discoloration it causes on the SDF-treated surfaces, limiting its acceptance in esthetically sensitive regions.The purpose of this systematic review was to examine and compare the effectiveness of different tooth-colored restorative materials in masking the discoloration on surfaces treated with SDF. Materials and methods: A thorough literature search was performed using Google Scholar, PubMed Central (PMC), and Scopus databases up to March 2025. Results: A total of nine Conclusion: Composite resin, especially when combined with opaquer or used with delayed placement, appears to be the most effective material for masking SDF-induced discoloration. However, findings are based on Clinical significance: This study offers evidence-based insights into the most effective restorative material to mask SDF-induced discoloration without compromising the caries-arresting property of SDF, aiding clinicians in making well-informed decisions about the selection of restorative material and timing of restoration, ultimately improving patient acceptance of SDF treatment.
