Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of Fluor Protector in the demineralization of bovine enamel after exposure to some beverages.
Methods: Twenty-four bovine teeth were divided into experimental and control groups. The enamel specimens of the experimental group were pretreated with Fluor Protector and then exposed to beverages; the enamel specimens of the control group were exposed to beverages directly. All the enamel specimens were exposed to beverages 10 times a day and 5 minutes each time. After 7 days' exposure to the beverages, all the specimens were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Results: Different degrees of solubilization of enamel prisms in the control group were demonstrated by SEM. The solubilization of enamel prisms in the experimental group was much more slight than that in the control group.
Conclusion: Fluor Protector can inhibit the demineralization of enamel caused by beverages.
