THE FORMATION OF HYDROXYFLUOR-APATITE IN TOOTH ENAMEL UNDER INFLUENCE OF DRINKING WATER CONTAINING FLUORIDE

WERNER RATHJE 1

1 Max Planck-Institut für Biochemie, Tübingen, Germany

According to a report on the production of pure isomorphous hydroxyfluorapatite (=HFA) by acidimetric precipitation from a watery solution, a description of experiments on the indication of the solubility of the HFA was given. It was found that the solubility of the HFA is considerably diminished even by a small fluorine content.

The probability that HFA may originate in the enamel by the influence of drinking water containing fluoride, and that the enamel should thus become less soluble and therefore be more resistant to dental caries is discussed.
