Fluoride Taken Up by Plaque, by the Underlying Enamel and by Clean Enamel from Three Fluoride Compounds in vitro

Klimek, J., Hellwig, E., Ahrens, G.·1982·Caries Research

Abstract

The interaction of fluoride with plaque and the underlying enamel was studied in an artificial mouth after topical application of three different fluoride solutions. Streptococcus mutans cells were grown on windowed bovine enamel blocks to form artificial plaque. Plaque-covered and clean enamel samples were rinsed with NaF, amine fluoride and Na-MFP (200 ppm F-, twice a day for 10 min for 3 consecutive days). Amine fluoride and NaF caused F- increments in plaque (190 and 72 ppm), Na-MFP had no effect. In clean enamel the F- concentration increased with amine fluoride and NaF but not with Na-MFP. Underneath plaque the F- increments were higher than in clean enamel for all fluoride agents; the most pronounced difference could be seen with Na-MFP.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
