Chemical Changes of Flattened Enamel Surfaces with in Vitro Weak Acid Demineralization

Infrared internal reflection spectroscopy (IRS) was used to study changes in surface chemistry of enamel after in vitro weak acid demineralization. Hypotheses that relate previous histomorphologic observations to current IRS findings are discussed.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68276/2/10.1177_00220345710500064001.pd
