Abstract

Laboratory studies were carried out on a newly conceived fluoride-containing re-mineralizing system with bovine teeth. The prototype fluoride delivery device involved micronized calcium fluoride maintained at the tooth surface with a cellulose film. Together with salivary calcium and phosphate (or simulated saliva), this system was able to generate and maintain the appropriate thermodynamic activity driving force for significant fluorapatite deposition in a reasonably short time (-48 hr).
