title: Absence of in-vitro fluoride-binding by the organic matrix of developing bovine enamel.
abstract: The in-vitro binding of fluoride to isolated organic matrix of secretory bovine enamel was studied by direct fluoride measurement and equilibrium dialysis. Over a wide range of protein and fluoride concentrations there was no indication of fluoride binding by the matrix in contrast to earlier reports.
