The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of nanosilver fluoride (NSF), chlorhexidine (CHX), and sodium fluoride (NaF) when used as a varnish on levels in children with dental caries.
A total of 120 children (age range 8-12 years) with incipient caries were randomly assigned to four groups ( = 30): group I-NSF varnish, group II-CHX varnish, group III-NaF varnish, and group IV-control. Varnish application at baseline was performed once. To assess the levels of using the culture method [colony-forming units (CFUs)] and optical density (OD), plaque and samples were taken at baseline (T0), 1 month (T1), and 3 months (T3). Additionally, the oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S) was noted for clinical assessment.
By the end of 3 months, a statistically significant reduction in plaque CFU and salivary CFU was found in group II. At the conclusion of the 3 months, group I had the greatest decrease in OHI-S. After 3 months, the plaque CFU score did not differ significantly across groups I, II, and III. However, a statistically significant difference in OD values (-value of 0.00) was discovered between group I and all other groups.
Children with early caries can effectively lower their count by using NSF varnish.

本研究旨在评估纳米银氟化物（NSF）、洗必泰（CHX）和氟化钠（NaF）用作清漆时对龋齿儿童口腔内某些指标水平的影响。
总共120名患有早期龋齿的儿童（年龄范围8 - 12岁）被随机分为四组（每组n = 30）：第一组 - NSF清漆组，第二组 - CHX清漆组，第三组 - NaF清漆组，第四组 - 对照组。在基线时进行一次清漆涂抹。为了使用培养方法[菌落形成单位（CFUs）]和光密度（OD）评估某些指标水平，在基线（T0）、1个月（T1）和3个月（T3）时采集菌斑和样本。此外，记录简化口腔卫生指数（OHI - S）用于临床评估。
到3个月末，第二组的菌斑CFU和唾液CFU有统计学显著降低。在3个月结束时，第一组的OHI - S下降最大。3个月后，第一组、第二组和第三组之间的菌斑CFU评分无显著差异。然而，发现第一组与所有其他组之间的OD值存在统计学显著差异（p值为0.00）。
患有早期龋齿的儿童使用NSF清漆可有效降低其口腔内某些指标计数。
