Fig. 2From: Remineralization and protection from demineralization: effects of a hydroxyapatite-containing, a fluoride-containing and a fluoride- and hydroxyapatite-free toothpaste on human enamel in vitroSEM images of a representative specimen before and after demineralization of 8 h. Grey areas represent the intact enamel (enamel prism) and the black areas the defective enamel (corresponding to demineralization by the lactic acid).
