The dissolution behavior of calcium fluoride in saliva was investigated. Chemically pure calcium fluoride (200 mg) was equilibrated in 10 ml of either saliva or distilled water for 3 weeks or repeatedly exposed, at 15-min intervals, to 10 ml of fresh solutions of saliva, distilled water, or phosphat...
