OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate fluoride uptake by tooth enamel with four different fluoride dentifrices. METHODS Sixty human premolars extracted for orthodontic purpose were selected for the study. The teeth were covered with nail varnish leaving a window of 4 × 4 mm on the enamel surface of the buccal and lingual sides. The teeth were demineralised and were divided into four groups with 15 teeth in each group. The buccal window served as experimental and the lingual as control. The teeth were immersed in toothpaste slurry containing: sodium fluoride (Group A); sodium monofluorophosphate (Group B); stannous fluoride (Group C) and amine fluoride (Group D). The fluoride content in the etched superficial enamel layer in the windows was analysed using a fluoride ion-specific electrode. RESULTS Within the parameters of this study, the uptake of fluoride was statistically significant in Group D (p < 0.05). The uptake of fluoride by tooth enamel in an increasing order was Group A < Group B < Group C < Group D. CONCLUSIONS The study showed that enamel treated with amine fluoride had the highest fluoride uptake.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.
