Elemental analysis of the fluoride varnish effects on root caries initiation

Patients with recently exposed root surfaces may become susceptible to acidic environments, even when other pertinent environmental factors remain unchanged. The inorganic chemical events of the root caries are similar to that of the enamel, however, the permeability and reactivity of the root surface allows the demineralization process to occur at a higher pH than in enamel. Therefore, clinicians Elemental analysis of the fluoride varnish effects on root caries initiation
