title: The effect of single-application fluoride treatment on simulated gastric erosion and erosion-abrasion of enamel in vitro.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare single-application fluoride formulations on enamel erosion and erosion-abrasion in vitro.
  
  
  METHODS
  Enamel specimens were pretreated with either sodium, tin, titanium, or sodium/calcium fluoride and subjected to either an erosion model or an erosion-abrasion model, after which optical profilometry was used to measure enamel step height loss.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For erosion, the titanium fluoride (P < .001) reduced enamel loss, whereas the calcium, tin, and sodium treatments showed no significant effects (P > .05). For erosion-abrasion, the titanium fluoride increased enamel loss in comparison to control (P < .001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Titanium fluoride has differing effects on enamel loss from erosion and erosion-abrasion models.
