Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) offers an effective and minimally invasive option for arresting active carious lesions.

It was valued as a child\u2010centred strategy, particularly for young children or those with low levels of cooperation, while other participants questioned its use due to permanent staining and the lack of functional or aesthetic restoration. Acceptance was strongly influenced by communication with caregivers and the informed consent process. Implementation was further mediated by institutional conditions and diverse training trajectories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The incorporation of SDF into paediatric dental practice in Chile is shaped by clinical, aesthetic, communicative, institutional and educational factors.
