Enamel Dissolution: II. Action of Titanium Tetrafluoride

SHEILA A. MUNDORFF 1, MARGUERITE F. LITTLE 1, and BASIL G. BIBBY 1

1 Eastman Dental Center, Rochester, New York 14603, USA

Mechanisms by which titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) reduces enamel solubility were investigated. An association was found between solubility reduction and the formation of a glaze on the enamel surface. Also, TiF4-treated enamel had higher levels of fluoride than enamel treated with acidulated phosphate-sodium fluoride. Solubility reductions and fluoride levels decreased slightly with washing but after 48 hours the fluoride level was still 60% of the maximum, and solubility reductions ranged between 64 and 70%.
