In a system without accumulation of products dissolved from enamel, the total mineral dissolved was reduced by about 10% for NaF- and SnF2-treated surfaces and was increased by about 10% for APF-treated surfaces. Accumulation in solution of products dissolved from the enamel surfaces enhanced surface remineralization to account for a net decreased dissolution as compared with dissolution without accumulation of products.
