Scanning electron micrographs showed that the reaction products formed on enamel surfaces increased with prolonged immersion time. Sn3F3PO4 crystals and other amorphous and platelike reaction products were present. These findings corroborate the data obtained from similar samples by electron microprobe analyses.
