Surface degradation of glass ceramics after exposure to acidulated phosphate fluoride

Surface degradation of glass ceramics after exposure to acidulated phosphate fluoride

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the surface degradation effect of acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel exposure on the glassy matrix ceramics as a function of time. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Disc-shaped ceramic specimens (N = 120, 10/per ceramic material) were prepared in stainless steel molds (inner...
