Abstract
A highly reproducible seeded crystal growth method has been used to study enamel mineralization in the presence of traces of fluoride ion. The resulting increased rate of remineralization over a range of calcium phosphate supersaturation may be attributed to the formation of surface fluorapatite.Keywords
