Studies on a novel combination polymer system: in vitro erosion prevention and promotion of fluoride uptake in human enamel

The combination polymer system exhibited anti-erosion efficacy in its own right. The polymer/fluoride admixture statistically significantly reduced Sa, however suppression of bulk tissue loss was not statistically significantly different versus either treatment alone. The presence of polymer appears to promote fluoride uptake by erosive lesions most noticeably in the first 6μm.
