Figure 1. Examples of plaque pH profiles by depth and by time in grooves from 3 substrata: (A) dentin, (B) enamel, and (C) polyacrylate (Perspex) in seven-day-old in situ-grown plaque (subject A). Specimens were placed in pH 7 buffer. The pH was measured at 10-µm intervals throughout the buffer (depth, -0.3 to 0 mm) and plaque (depth, 0 to 0.7 mm) in the groove, and at regular time points before (time, -2 to 0 min) and after (time, 2 to 50 min) 10% glucose application (arrow).
