The in vitro fluoride acquisition by human enamel after a 1-hour and 24-hour application of APF, Duraphat (a resin varnish) or Fluor Protector (a polyurethane varnish) and subjection to various procedures was determined. Fluoride acquisition was the greatest in teeth treated with Fluor Protector and the least in APF-treated teeth. Fluoride uptake and distribution were increased by prolonging the contact time between the varnishes and enamel, and fluoride retention was decreased after subsequent exposure to synthetic saliva.
