The effects of enamel solubility by the varying concentration of fluoride and phosphate as well as pH of the acid fluoride-phosphate solutions were tested and compared with th 7% stannous fluoride solution.
The smooth surface of the sound permanent 1st premolars were demineralized by the Buttner's method. And the phosphorus extracted from the 1st premolars were analyzed by the Fiske and Subbarow's method.
Enamel smooth surfaces treated with the acid fluoride-phosphate solution and the 8% stannous fluoride solution were obserbed electron-microscopically by the Filmy Replica method.
The results of this study were summarized as follows:
!. The least enamel dissolution rate was observed at the acid fluoride-phosphate solution contained 1.25% fluorine, 0.5% phosphate, and pH 4.
2. The anti-cariogenic effects comparison between the acid fluoride-phosphate solution and 8% stannous fluoride, the former was higher. |
