| Abstract | |
Although it is still discussed whether fluoride incorporated systemically to the enamel during the pre-eruptive period would make it more resistant to caries, experimental data have shown that tooth enamel with mild / moderate fluorosis is less resistant to demineralization than sound enamel. However, it was not simulated the recognized local (post-eruptive) effect of fluoride that occurs when daily intake of fluoridated water or dental brushing with fluoride dentifrice. The study was in vitro with a factorial design. The factors were: fluorosis in three levels (0, 1-2, 3-4, Thylstrup and Fejerskov index, TF) and dentifrice in two levels placebo (PD) and fluoride (FD, 1100 ?g F / g as NaF). Twenty human teeth of each TF were used. From each tooth, 2 enamel blocks (4x3x2 mm) were obtained, which were paired between the two types of treatment (n = 20). Half of the area of the anatomical surface of the blocks was protected for posterior determination of the area of hypomineralization and fluoride concentration (baseline)...
