[Effect of fluorided etching fluid on the shear bond strength and the deposition on the surface of enamel.].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to find the best concentration of fluorided etching acid in the dental clinic which had both the best shear bond strength and the maximal anti-caries effect.


METHODS
84 extracted human premolars were divided into four groups of 21 teeth each. The enamel of each group was conditioned with 35% phosphoric acid containing 0%, 1.23%, 2%, 3% NaF. The shear bond strength was tested by bond strength machine and the enamel morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy at once, 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks after etching. The shear bond strength was statistically analyzed by SPSS10.0 software.


RESULTS
The shear bond strength of the group whose acid containing 3% NaF was less than the others significantly (P<0.05); and there was no significant difference among the other groups (P>0.05). The amount of the deposition on the surface of enamel after etching was increased with the time after etching and the concentration of NaF increasing.


CONCLUSIONS
2% NaF added to 35% phosphoric acid has both the best bond strength and the best effect of preventing enamel from caries.
