Effects of topical fluoride preparations on glazed porcelain surfaces.
Porcelain disks were tested in three topical fluoride preparations to determine if glazed porcelain surfaces suffered untoward effects. Tap water was used as a control. The only disks damaged were those immersed in acidulated phosphate fluoride gel. Acidulated phosphate fluoride gel should not be used where glazed porcelain restorations are present.
