Abstract
In the well-known technique of disinfecting caries-infected or potentially caries-infected dental tissue with silver nitrate, silver thiocyanate or its complexes have been substituted for silver nitrate with excellent disinfecting results and lowered side effects, e.g., with lowered toxicity toward dental tissues and mouth membranes and less blackening of exposed portions of the teeth.
