The influence of fluoride on apatite formation from unstable supersaturated solutions at pH 7.4

E D Eanes et al. J Dent Res. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of fluoride on the formation of apatite in aqeous calcium phosphate suspensions prepared by spontaneous precipitation at pH 7.4. The most notable finding was that fluoride greatly curtailed or eliminated the appearance of octacalcium phosphate-like precursor phases in these preparations.
