To evaluate the occluding ability of ammonium hexafluorosilicate (SiF). Dentin disks prepared from human extracted teeth were grouped as follows to prepare different situations of dentin hypersensitivity: (1) those sonicated for 20 minutes; (2) those treated with 0.5 mol/L EDTA

Fluoride, of all inorganic substances, is among the least likely to be identified by a routine toxicological analysis. Acute poisonings with salts of hydrofluoric or fluorosilicic acid, however, although relatively uncommon, may occur. Some fluorosilicates, salts of fluorosilicic acid (e.g.

Diamine silver fluoride [AgF: (NH(3))(2)AgF] has been used clinically in Japan, as it reduces dental caries and dentin hypersensitivity. However, AgF stains the teeth black due to silver precipitation. To overcome this drawback, the authors prepared ammonium hexafluorosilicate [SiF: (NH(4))(2)SiF(6)]
