Infrared internal reflection spectroscopy (IRS) was used to investigate chemical changes of enamel surface during in vitro remineralization. Specimens were demineralized and exposed either to calcium phosphate-fluoride solutions or to acidulated fluorophosphate. The former showed amorphous phosphate remineralization, and the latter showed surface precipitate interpreted to be calcium fluoride. The significance of previous demineralization time to both forms of remineralization is discussed.
