Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride
Abstract
Groups B and C showed significant increases in enamel microhardness following treatment (P < 0.001), whereas no statistically significant changes were observed in Groups A, D, or E (P > 0.05). One-way ANOVA of delta Vickers microhardness numbers (deltaVHN) revealed significant differences among grou...

Abstract
All resin-modified and conventional glass ionomers studied exhibited the capacity for fluoride release and reuptake after fluoridation, but the subsequent fluoride release was transitory. Thus, the benefit from fluoride reuptake in these orthodontic cements should be balanced with the risk of weaken...
