Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26687774 | https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01950546 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24373700

Silver Fluoride is an odorless yellow to gray solid salt with the formula AgF. Silver Fluoride has relatively few niche applications; it has been employed as a fluorination and desilylation reagent in organic synthesis and in aqueous solution as a topical caries treatment in dentistry. Multiple studies have shown silver(I) fluoride to be an effective anti-caries agent. Treatment is typically by the "atraumatic" method, in which 40% by mass aqueous silver(I) fluoride solution is applied to carious lesions, followed by sealing of the dentine with glass ionomer cement. Although the treatment is generally recognized to be safe, fluoride toxicity has been a significant clinical concern in pediatric applications, especially as some commercial preparations have had considerable silver(II) fluoride contamination in the past. Due to the instability of concentrated AgF solutions, silver diamine fluoride (Ag(NH3)2F) is now more commonly used.
