Fluoride retention by human enamel after in vitro application of nicomethanol hydrofluoride.

Fluoridated dentifrices generally contain sodium monofluorophosphate or sodium fluoride--alone or in combination--or a group of organic fluorides, the amine fluorides. The purpose of this study was to determine the fluoride and retention in vitro by human enamel, after brushing with a dentifrice containing the amine fluoride, nicomethanol hydrofluoride, the fluoride salt of nicotinyl alcohol.

Observations of SnF2-treated human enamel using scanning electron microscope.

Human enamel was ground flat, treated for 4 min with 8 percent SnF2 and then immersed in water for 5 sec, 5 min, 60 min and 24 h. Products formed on the enamel included round globular and triangular-shaped crystalline structures which were removed after the treated enamel specimens were immersed in water for 24 h. In contrast, the non-water-washed treated enamel specimens had a distinct precipitate.
