The effect of acid-etching on caries-like lesions treated with stannous fluoride.
The effect of acid-etching on SnF2-treated caries-like lesions was investigated. The results suggested that remineralization occurred, limited to the superficial portions of the lesions. In addition, we observed etching patterns which are comparable to those described for etched sound enamel.
