- Abstract
The effect of iron chloride on an in vitro acid attack of human enamel was studied. Slices of teeth were covered with varnish except for a window left on one of the enamel surfaces for exposure. The iron salt was used as a supplement to acid gel, or as pretreatment of the enamel surfaces before exposure to the pure gel. The increase in radio-opacity of the enamel sections incubated in the iron containing acid media was attributed to a lower degree of enamel decalcification. Treatment of the enamel sections with the iron solutions at all used concentrations prior to incubation in pure acid media decreased the radioopacity. The decrease was not significant.
