“…Since the Vdem values predicted on the basis of specific adsorption agree very well with the observed ones, it seems that fluoride causes a reduction of Vdem by specific adsorption to the mineral crystallites. That this might be the case is supported also by the findings of Cutress (1966). He found, studying the effect of fluoride on the rate of dissolution of bovine enamel at various pH's, a reduction within a pH range of 1 to 7, with a maximum at a pH between 3 and 4.…”

Intact roots of human molars, which had not been exposed to the oral environment, were exposed to buffer solutions of pH 5.5, which contained, besides calcium and phosphate, various concentrations of fluoride. Densitometric measurements on contact-microradiograms of transverse sections of these roots produced data which were used to calculate the rate of demineralization (Vdem). Vdem appeared to be reduced with increasing fluoride concentration and with decreasing pIOHA (i.e., the negative logarithm of the ionic product of hydroxyapatite) of the buffer solution. In addition, it was observed that, after some days of exposure, remineralization started to occur within the surface layer at some micron from the outer surface and that the region within which remineralization took place was extended inward with increasing time of exposure. These data suggest that fluoride is effective in the prevention of root surface caries. The mechanism of the interaction of fluoride with the root mineral is discussed.

“…Summarizing, the results of this study and of the study of Cutress (1966) suggest that the reduction of Vdem is due mainly to the specific adsorption of fluoride to the mineral.…”

“…Properties of tooth apatite and its resistance to dental cavities have been known to be affected by the presence of chemical species of fluoride (1)(2)(3)(4), vanadium (5,6), tin (7)(8)(9), molybdenum (10,11), chelating agents (12)(13)(14), and long-chain surfactants (15)(16)(17)(18). The role of the electrochemical properties of the surface in determining the uptake of these chemical species by apatite is not, however, established.…”
