  • Title: Effects of acidulated and neutral NaF solutions on bond strengths.
    Author: Barcroft BD, Childers KR, Harris EF.
    Journal: Pediatr Dent; 1990; 12(3):180-2. PubMed ID: 2077495.
    Abstract:
    The application of topical fluoride after acid-etching substantially reduces the risk of enamel opacities and caries, but fluoride treatment can reduce strength of the enamel-adhesive interface to a measurable extent. In this in vitro study there was a slight reduction (statistically inconsequential) in bond strength with the use of 2.0% aqueous NaF. In contrast, two acidulated solutions tested here both showed marked reductions (ca. 25%) in bond strengths.
