Trimetaphosphate and Fluoride Actions on Mineralization at the Enamel-Solution Interface

M. GONZALEZ 1, B. G. JEANSONNE 1, and F. F. FEAGIN 1

The presence of trimetaphosphate ions (TMP) in calcium phosphate solutions inhibited the rehardening of softened enamel surfaces. TMP decreased, whereas fluoride increased, the rates of calcium, phosphate, and fluoride reactions with etched enamel surfaces. The mechanisms of action of TMP and fluoride were independent of each other and possibly synergistic.
