Abstract
In vitro caries-like lesion formation in F-containing tooth enamel (shark) showed a lower depth of penetration compared to that in human enamel (42 vs. 100%). After longer periods of exposure, the depth of penetration in shark enamel is only 33% relative to that in human enamel. The extent of dissolution in acetate buffer for powdered human enamel and for synthetic F-free calcium-carbonated-apatites was greater than for powdered shark enamel and for synthetic F-containing apatites.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
