Effect of Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Cement Containing Monofluorophosphate on Fluoride Uptake and Solubility of Enamel

Abstract

Sound enamel blocks had significantly higher fluoride concentrations after being placed in contact with zinc oxide-eugenol cements containing monofluorophosphate in vitro than control blocks covered with no cement or a conventional ZOE cement. The acid solubility of intacl enamel surfaces after exposure to ZOE cements containing MFP also was reduced significantly.
