Assessing the ability of acidulated fluoride solutions to etch glass-based restorative materials - a pilot study

Topical fluorides have been used widely in dentistry for over fifty years, and are credited with having contributed greatly to the marked decline in caries prevalence recorded in most industrialized countries over the last three decades (Fejerskov, 1981 ). A wide variety of forms of topical fluor...
