Introduction
• In vitro, vivo and clinical evidence have proved that silver
compounds are viable agents for preventing and arresting
caries (Peng, J.J.,2012).
• It is likely to that silver ions can promote remineralisation
(Peng, J.J.,2012).
• Traditionally silver nitrate and silver fluoride were used in
Dentistry.
• More recently silver diammine fluoride have become
commercially available for clinical use.

Introduction
Methods and Materials
An ion selective electrode generates a
difference in electrical potential between itself
and a reference electrode. The output
potential is proportional to the amount or
concentration of the selected ion in solution.
ISE has been proven to be used for
demineralisation study (Huang, Shahid et al.
2018).
