Enamel solubility rates were measured in vivo to depths of 1 to 2 micrometers in two samples of young men from the Great Lakes naval recruit population. No clearcut relationship could be established between enamel solubility rate and dental caries experience. Factors such as tooth morphology and tooth-surface debris affected the enamel solubility rate data.
