01/01/2012 - "The group treated with 75% silver nitrate had 88% complete resolution of epistaxis compared to 65% in the group treated with 95% silver nitrate (P = 0.01). "
01/01/2011 - "We would recommend the use of 75% silver nitrate cauterization in the management of childhood epistaxis, it appears to be more efficacious, has fewer side effects and is better tolerated."
01/01/2011 - " to evaluate which concentration of silver nitrate cauterization was more efficacious in the management of idiopathic childhood epistaxis. "

05/01/1992 - "Because silver nitrate was found more effective in decreasing the total frequency of all cases of ophthalmia neonatorum, and cases caused by Chlamydia and gram-negative bacteria specifically, this drug still should be considered as a primary prophylactic agent against ophthalmia neonatorum."
10/01/1988 - "Although silver nitrate is still considered to be one of the most effective prophylactic measures for gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum, in 4 cases this disease still developed. "
11/01/1987 - "Silver nitrate prophylaxis against ophthalmia neonatorum due to Neissera Gonorrhoeae was introduced by Crédé in 1884, when he instilled a drop of 2% silver nitrate into the cul-de-sac of a newborn. "

01/01/1984 - "During a period when silver nitrate prophylaxis against ophthalmia neonatorum was discontinued in the maternity ward of the Yaounde Central Hospital, a study was begun of the prevalence of gonorrheal infection among women and their newborns. "

09/01/2005 - "Silver nitrate sticks have been used for a long time to provide pain relief for the duration of an aphthous ulceration, with only one application. "
01/01/2012 - "The pain scores were significantly less in those treated with 75% silver nitrate, the mean score being 1 compared to a mean score of 5 in those treated with 95% silver nitrate; this was statistically significant (P = 0.001).We carried out a 'Risk of bias' assessment of each study according to the Cochrane methodology and judged that two randomised controlled trials had a low risk of bias, two had an unclear risk of bias and the quasi-randomised controlled trial had a high risk of bias. "
09/01/2005 - "The results of our study showed that one application of silver nitrate can decrease the severity of pain in aphthous ulceration without significantly shortening or prolonging healing time. "
01/01/2015 - "Local pain was found to be more in patients treated with silver nitrate cauterization. "
01/01/2012 - "Furthermore to reduce pain and distress associated with the application we used local anaesthetic prior to applying the silver nitrate."
