  • Title: Effect of a two-solution fluoride mouth rinse on deposition of loosely bound fluoride on sound root tissue and remineralization of root lesions in vitro.

    Abstract:
    A constant-composition fluoride (F) titration method was used to measure the amount of leachable F deposited on root surfaces in vitro by a 1-min rinse with a 12 mmol/l sodium fluoride (228 micrograms/g F) solution or a two-solution rinse that contained 2 mmol/l sodium fluorosilicate (228 micrograms/g total F ) and 10 mmol/l calcium chloride. The mean +/- standard deviations (n = 3) F uptake from the two rinse treatments were 0.70 +/- 0.24 micrograms/cm2 and 3.25 +/- 0.74 micrograms/cm2, respectively. In a separate experiment, the effects of sodium fluoride and the two-solution rinses on remineralization of root lesions were evaluated in an in vitro pH cycling model. The results showed that the average decrease in mineral loss (delta Z) in the two-solution rinse group (60%) was significantly greater than that obtained in the NaF rinse (41%) or the control (9%) group.
