Increases in fluoride, calcium, and phosphate in dental plaque resulting from the use of a mineralizing mouthrinse containing urea and monofluorophosphate.
A mouthrinse used ten times over a four-day period increased the concentration of acid-extractable fluoride in immature plaque by 320%, calcium by 190%, and phosphate by 97%. Corresponding increases in mature plaque were smaller, yet significant. Diffusion of the ions from plaque was restricted, and hence a prolonged caries-inhibitory effect can be expected.
