Abstrakt: Mechanisms by which titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) reduces enamel solubility were investigated. An association was found between solubility reduction and the formation of a glaze on the enamel surface. Also, TiF4-treated enamel had higher levels of fluoride than enamel treated with acidulated phosphate- sodium fluoride. Solubility reductions and fluoride levels decreased slightly with washing but after 48 hours the fluoride level was still 60% of the maximum, and solubility reductions ranged between 64 and 70%.
