Abstract
Three patients with a partial natural dentition in one jaw and a full denture in the other participated in this study. Enamel treated with APF gel, Duraphat or Fluor Protector and untreated controls were positioned in a full denture for periods up to 3 months. Plaque accumulation on the enamel blocks was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that in all 3 patients studied the formation of CaF2 inhibited dental plaque accumulation.Keywords
