The growth and dissolution of sodium fluoride hopper crystalsWhy Is This Important?
Background: Caries is still prevalent despite the current understanding and use of fluoride. Faster-dissolving crystals of sodium fluoride (NaF) in a fluoride treatment could improve the efficacy of current preventative approaches. Methods: In this study,
