title: Fluoride release from some dental materials in different solutions.
abstract: Most of the data reported on release of fluoride from dental materials are based upon measurements made in deionized water and artificial saliva, which do not simulate the dynamics of caries development. So, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of fluoride released from different restorative materials in storage solutions, considering the caries process (pH-cycling). Six cylindrical samples of each material (Chelon-Fil, Dyract, Variglass, Vitremer, and Tetric) were prepared and suspended individually in 2.0 mL of each studied solution. The studied media were deionized water, artificial saliva, and solutions for pH-cycling (demineralizing solution--pH 4.3 and remineralizing solution--pH 7.0). All solutions were changed daily over 15 days. Fluoride release was determined after buffering the solutions with an equal volume of TISAB. The fluoride release was higher in pH-cycling than in the other solutions (P < 0.05), and changes of the rank order of fluoride release from the studied materials occurred when the different media were considered (P < 0.05). The data suggest that the comparison of fluoride released from dental materials is dependent on the medium used in the evaluation.
