Perm selectivity of teeth was studied by membrane potential measurements. The enamel was found to have a preferential affinity for calcium and hydrogen ions. Its permselectivity could be modified by anionic compounds, such as phytate and alginate; by cationic compounds, such as protamine, polyarginine, and poly lysine ; or by an alternating coating of the above compounds.
