“Laboratory and clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of fluoride and functionalized β-tricalcium phosphate (fTCP) produces stronger, more acid-resistant mineral relative to fluoride, native β-TCP, or fTCP alone.”
“This is because fluoride acts as a catalyst and influences reaction rates with dissolution and transformation of various calcium phosphate mineral phases within tooth structure and resident within plaque adjacent to tooth surfaces.”

“Exposure of intact enamel to fluoride followed by immersion in a metastable calcium phosphate solution increased the density of the most superficial enamel layer.”
“Its daily prescribed therapeutical usage is about 30,000‐fold less in fluoride concentration than that recommended for NaF associated with calcium monophosphate.”

“The addition of fluoride (1000 µM and 3000 µM) to the CaP solution led to the formation of fluoride-incorporated apatite layers with an enamel-like needle-like nanostructure.”
