In this study, contact angle ({Theta}) measurements on enamel from four patients were carried out in vitro. The experiments were done with and without the acquired pellicle. The results show that if {Theta}A, {Theta}B, and {Theta} C are the contact angles of enamel with pellicle, enamel 3-7 µm under the anatomical surface, and enamel 100-200 µm under the surface, then {Theta}A > {Theta}B > {Theta}C, respectively. The biological variation in one patient is comparable to the biological spreading among patients; the biological variations are several times greater than are the experimental errors. Storage experiments indicate that enamel surfaces change strongly after extraction if stored in water; main changes occur within one wk.
