While 62.3% recognized its antimicrobial properties, 78.3% did not know that SDF arrests caries. Despite limited exposure, 63.8% expressed willingness to use SDF in practice, particularly for older adults with cognitive or physical impairments. Regression analysis found no significant predictors of students' perceptions or willingness to use SDF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While Chilean dental students have limited clinical experience with SDF, they recognize its potential for managing caries lesions in older adults.
