Abstract:
Enamel cylinders, submitted to the action of NaHCO3 solutions or kept in water, were immersed in a remineralizing solution containing radioactive calcium and phosphate. The calcium uptake was increased in NaHCO3 treated samples, but not the phosphate uptake. Less calcium adsorption was found in 72 h--NaHCO3 treated samples, than after 1 h and 24 h respectively.
