<p dir="ltr">Dental erosion is the dissolution of the mineralised tooth surface caused by non-bacterial acids.Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is a result of demineralisation caused by erosive acid and abrasion.Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is one of the polyvalent metal fluorides. SDF has not been widely investigated on dentalerosion prevention.</p><p dir="ltr">To now, the effect of SDF on dental erosion is available only a few evidence-based research, which mainly conducted on bovine tooth samples. The promising anti-erosive properties of SDF from previous studies were more acid resistance and more silver compounds precipitated on SDF-treated surfaces. It is necessary to study the effectiveness of SDF against dental erosion on human enamel and dentine samples.</p>
