The fluoride saturation rate of coarsely granulated human enamel was ascertained using an aqueous 1 mg. per cent of NaF solution. Maximum saturation was attained in 60 minutes, but in 20 minutes approximately 40 per cent saturation was attained when 5 Gm. of enamel was exposed to 200 ml. NaF solution. Enamel is capable of saturation with 3.6 times more fluorine than it originally contained.
