Abstract

In order to investigate the material formed by application of fluoride on human dentin, exposed dentin of tooth cervix and sound dentin powder was treated by several fluoride solutions. The former was observed by scanning electron microscope and the latter was analysed by x-ray diffractometer and infrared spectrophotometer. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Application with NaF, $SnF_2$ and $Na_2PO_3F$ on exposed dentin of tooth cervix formed mineralized materials covered. 2. The amount of mineralized materials increased with time intervals of applying the fluorides. 3. The density of mineralized materials was highest in $Na_2PO_3F$ treatment group, and NaF treatment group was higher than $SnF_2$ treatment group. 4. $SnF_2$ remained in covering of mineralized materials. 5. Application with NaF and $Na_2PO_3F$ formed mineralized materials characterized apatitic crystals. 6. The crystallinity of mineralized materials was higher prominently in $Na_2PO_3F$ treatment group.
