Abstract

In this paper, the demineralization of dental enamel was studied in under-saturated calcium phosphate solutions with different pH and fluoride concentrations. The combined data of the mineral dissolved show a dissolution pattern not significantly different from the stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HAP) dissolution [Ca/P = 1.72 (0.01)]. However, during the very initial demineralization, calcium is removed preferentially. The rate of demineralization seems to be affected to a greater extent when the solution is supersaturated to CaF2 than to fluorapatite (FAP). This is attributed to a different morphology of the calcium fluoride deposition which effectively blocks the acid diffusion. During demineralization, fluoride is taken up by the enamel; the percentage of fluoride being removed from the solution is correlated with the amount of demineralization.

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.
