Forsyth Dental Center, 140 The Fenway, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Intra-oral enamel demineralization tests, involving rinsing with sucrose solutions (5, 1, 0.5, or 0.3%) at varying frequencies during a 1.5-hour period, showed that demineralization was a function of the total sugar dose (frequency of rinsing times concentration). Two rinses with a 5% solution caused demineralization, nine rinses were needed in the case of a 0.5% solution, and none occurred after nine rinses with a 0.3% solution. Remineralization was also observed and apparently occurred after exhaustion of the sucrose supply.
