Measurement of Topical Fluoride Acquired by Sound Human Enamel

The paper discusses a particular aspect of the measurement of fluoride incorporation into sound enamel. Difficulties created by the high and variable fluoride concentration in the natural tooth surface are considered, and ways of overcoming this when attempting to measure the uptake or retention of...
