We have compared the fluoride (F) concentrations from the enamel surface to the dentino-enamel junction (DEJ), and through dentine to the dentino-pulpal junction (DPJ) in premolars extracted from school children in Chemnitz (former Karl-Marx-Stadt), Germany (F: 1.0 ppm in the water supply), Erfurt, Germany (F: 0.2 ppm in the water supply) and Nagoya, Japan (F: 0.1 ppm in the water supply). In teeth from children in Cheminitz, Erfurt and Nagoya, the profiles of F distribution using an abrasive microsampling technique revealed high F concentrations in the enamel surface, with a substantial decrease towards a plateau in the interior. In dentine the F concentrations were higher than in enamel, and also decreased to a plateau from the DEJ, thereafter increasing considerably towards the DPJ. F concentrations at any depth in the enamel and dentine of teeth from Chemnitz were 2-3 times higher than those in Erfurt and Nagoya. There was no significant difference in F concentrations or distributions between Erfurt and Nagoya. Close to the DEJ in both enamel and dentine as well as the enamel surface and the DPJ side of dentine, higher F concentrations were observed in Chemnitz compared with Erfurt and Nagoya.

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.
