The Effect of Metal/Fluoride Complexes on Fluoride Uptake and Caries-like Lesion Formation in Enamel

Abstract

Pretreatment of enamel with TiCl₃ and ZrOCL₂·8H₂O solutions prior to APF application was shown to increase fluoride uptake and reduce caries-like lesion formation to a greater extent than APF alone. The increase in fluoride uptake by enamel was not solely due to the low pH of the pretreatment solutions.
