How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What it acts on
Increasing fluoride from 0.50 to 0.75 ppm reduced enamel mineral loss during repeated sucrose exposure in the artificial-mouth model.
Experimental context and source evidence
- dose
- 3% or 5% sucrose for 30 minutes three times/day; 0.50 or 0.75 ppm fluoride for 22.5 hours/day
- duration
- 5 days; separate 3-versus-9-day biofilm comparison
- evidence_access
- Primary full-text methods/results and metadata inspected.
- evidence_scope
- literature_reviewed; source-specific curation
- experimental_model
- Human enamel slabs with mixed streptococcal/lactobacillus biofilms in artificial mouth
- exposure_scope
- Sucrose, bacterial biofilm and fluoride interaction
- limitations
- Artificial-mouth lesion endpoint, not systemic fluoride or clinical prevention estimate. 3 versus 5% sucrose did not differ under this protocol; this does not establish general dose independence.
