M28: Caries management in a child: read the risk, arrest a cavity with silver diammine fluoride, seal a sound molar, recall

One caries management visit for a child at high caries risk: pick the cavitated lesions that suit silver diammine fluoride (SDF) and the sound or noncavitated molars that suit a sealant, explain the permanent black stain and take consent, protect the lips, isolate and clear the gross debris, apply SDF to the lesion only for at least 1 minute and remove the excess, etch and seal the sound molar in a dry field, then check the arrest at follow-up and set the varnish and recall, read against the AAPD SDF chairside guide and policy and the ADA/AAPD sealant guideline.
