Effect of Temperature of SnF Solution on Tin and Fluoride Uptake by Bovine Enamel

Abstract
The tin and fluoride concentrations in surface layers of intact enamel specimens were analytically determined after treatment with 8% SnF2 solutions at temperatures of 25, 45, 65, and 85 C. Significant increases in fluoride uptake and particularly tin uptake in enamel correlated directly with the temperature of the SnF 2 treatment.
