The enamel is the hardest biological structure made up of inorganic ions, organic substances, trace elements and water and it covers the coronal part of dentin. Acid etching causes leaching out of inorganic and trace elements from the enamel surface. In the present study leach out pattern of 11 elements from the enamel surface during etching was studied.
