- The study compared chlorhexidine and xylitol varnish (VCX) with silver diamine fluoride (SDF) for controlling initial dental caries in young children aged 5-6.
- Results showed that both treatments were effective, but SDF demonstrated superior efficacy compared to VCX.
- VCX may be a suitable aesthetic alternative for patients, though further research is needed to confirm long-term effectiveness.
