title: Rate of stannous fluoride reaction with hydroxyapatite.
abstract: Solutions of stannous fluoride are reacted with hydroxyapatite and the progress of the reaction is monitored by calcium analysis. The formation of Sn3F3PO4 proceeds faster with an increase in SnF2 concentration and can be further increased by adding Sn++ to the stannous fluoride solution.
