The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of film-forming polymer solutions of different concentrations and pH values, either associated or not with sodium fluoride (F; 225 ppm F-), when applied during the initial stage of salivary pellicle formation, to prevent the dissolution of hydroxyapatite (HA), which was determined by the pH-stat method. Polyacrylic acid (PA), Chitosan, Sodium linear polyphosphate (LPP), Polyvinyl methyl ether/maleic anhydride (PVM/MA) and Propylene glycol alginate (PGA) were tested in three concentrations (lower, medium, higher), two pH values (native or adjusted) and either associated or not with F...
