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 μg/g F) solution or a two-solution rinse that contained 2 mmol/l sodium fluorosilicate (228 μg/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 μg/cm2 and 3.25 ± 0.74 μg/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 (ΔZ) in the two-solution rinse group (60%) was significantly greater than that obtained in the NaF rinse (41%) or the control (9%) group.
