Researchers found that the liquid treatment successfully stopped tooth decay in more than half of the baby teeth included in the study.

The application of this substance offers a non-invasive method for managing dental caries, particularly in pediatric patients. By halting the progression of decay without the need for mechanical intervention, this treatment could provide a less distressing option for dental care.
