Popis: The aim was to assess the nanohardness (H) and the reduced modulus of elasticity (Er) of 2.5% titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) modified dentin, before and after an erosive challenge with 0.3% citric acid (CA). Exposed dentin surfaces were divided into two groups (n = 5): (1) Control—no dentin pretreatment with TiF4 prior to etching with CA, and (2) Experimental—dentin pretreatment with TiF4 + CA. The H and the Er of intertubular dentin were measured using a triboindenter at different time points: baseline for both groups, after using 2.5% TiF4 for the experimental group, and after using CA for both the experimental and the control groups. Scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of the dentin surfaces were undertaken at the same time points for both groups. Two-way ANOVA for randomized block design was applied. There was significant interaction between the application of the TiF4 solution and different time points (p = 0.001 for H and p
