After immersion for 30 seconds in stannous fluoride, tin and fluorine were detected in enamel. When the enamel was immersed for a longer time, it was etched by stannous fluoride treatment. A second tin-rich zone formed on the enamel surface after prolonged exposure and possibly consisted of Sn3F3PO4 and a hydrated tin compound.
