Effect of a calcium prerinse on salivary fluoride after a 228-ppm fluoride rinse.
The objective of this study was to determine if a concentrated calcium prerinse given before a fluoride rinse would cause an increase in the post rinse sali vary fluoride (F). A panel of 5 subjects used a 30, 150 or 300 mmol/l calcium lactate prerinse followed by a 1-min NaF rinse. All calcium prerinses significantly increased the 1-hour saliva F relative to the NaF control without a prerinse. The maximum increase was produced by the 150 mmol/l calcium lactate prerinse and was about ninefold higher than the NaF control.
