This study was aimed to both enhance the fluoride removal and to reduce the phosphorus removal in treating semiconductor wastewater using $Ca(OH)_2$ at low pH so as to facilitate struvite crystallization reaction. The struvite crystallization could be introduced after fluoride removal by retaining the phosphorus source. As the results, the method applied in this study achieved high fluoride removal efficiency (about 91%) with retardation of phosphorus removal at pH 4, compared to conventional methods where the removal of fluoride and phosphorus were done at pH 11. Therefore, the fluoride removal at low pH would contribute to the enhancement of nitrogen and phosphorus removals in a consecutive struvite crystallization reactor. Treatment of semiconductor wastewater at low pH using $Ca(OH)_2$ also had lower (about 20%) water content of precipitated sludge compared to conventional method. As the molar ratio of Ca to F increased the removal efficiencies of fluoride and phosphorus increased. Although the amount of seed dosage didn't affect the removal of fluoride and phosphorus, its increase reduced the water content of precipitated matter. Finally, considering consecutive struvite reaction, the optimum condition for the removal of fluoride and phosphorus was as follow: pH: 4, the molar ratio of Ca:F: 1:1.

Fluoride has been used widely for the prevention of dental caries. Many dental professionals applicated acidulated phosphate fluoride(APF) gel for the purpose of prevention of dental caries in recent years. However, the topical application of fluoride varnish is growing and getting much recognition in many parts of Europe and Scandinavia. The main purpose of this study was to compare the effect of fluoride varnish and acidulated phosphate fluoride gel on artificial caries lesion. The artificial caries lesion was caused on the sound bovine enamel and divided 60 specimens into three groups each containing twenty for the purpose of study. No application was done on group 1, which acted as control group. Group 2 was treated with the topical application of fluoride varnish and removed after 1 hour Group 3 was treated with APF gel and removed after a minute. The cycle of remineralization/demineralization went on in vitro and the microhardness was measured for the each group after 5 and 15days. The following results were obtained : 1. According to the results after 5 days, the microhardness of groups 2 and 3 were significantly higher than group 1, the control group(p<0.05) Similar results was also noticed after 15 days(p<0.05) 2. In comparison of microhardness between groups 2 and 3 after 5days, there were no significant differences between them. The results after 15 days was also similar 3. Much difference in microhardness wasn't present in groups 2 and 3 after 5 and 15days. However, the microhardness of the group 1 dropped significantly in the result of 15 days and 5 days(p<0.05).

Fluoride released from dental restorative materials effectively declines the incidence and activity of dental caries and inhibits tooth demineralization. This study investigated the fluoride release and uptake characteristics of one composite resin $(Z-250^{TM})$ three glass ionomer-based restorative material ($Dyract^{(R)}$ AP, Fuji II $LC^{(R)}$, Fuji IX GP $Fast^{(R)}$) Forty discs(6mm diameter and 1mm height) were prepared for each material. Each disc was immersed in 5ml of distilled water within polyethylene vial and stored at $37^{\circ}C$. The distilled water was changed every 24 hours and the release of fluoride was measured for 31 days. At the end of this period, each specimen was subjected to one of four treatments : (A) no fluoride treatment (control), (B) application of a fluoride dentifrice (500ppm) for three minutes three times; (C) application of the 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride(APF) foam for one minute once, (D) the same regimen as (B), plus application of the APF foam for one minute once. Then, all samples were reassessed for an additional 7 days. For all samples, the greatest fluoride release was observed after the first day of the study but diminished with time. On the 7th day of the study, fluoride release level was stabilized. Fuji II $LC^{(R)}$ and Fuji IX GP $Fast^{(R)}$ released higher amount of fluoride than other materials ; however, no statistically significant difference was found from Fuji II $LC^{(R)}$ and Fuji IX GP $Fast^{(R)}$. The amount of fluoride of $Dyract^{(R)}$ AP, Fuji II $LC^{(R)}$ and Fuji IX GP $Fast^{(R)}$ was increased after fluoride treatment, and diminished with time.

Various fluoride films were investigated for a gate insulator of thin film transistor application. Conventional oxide containing materials like $SiO_2\;Ta_2O_5\; and \; Al_2O_3$ exhibited high interface states which lead to an increased threshold voltage and poor stability of TFT. In this paper, we investigated gate insulators using a binary matrix system of fluoride such as $CaF_2,\; SrF_2\; MgF_2,\; and\; BaF_2$. These materials exhibited an improvement in lattice mismatch, interface state and electrical stability. MIM and MIS devices were employed for an electrical characterization and structural property examination. Among the various fluoride materials, $CaF_2$ film showed an excellent lattice mismatch of 5%, breakdown electric field higher than 1.2MV/cm and leakage current density of $10^{-7}A/cm^2$. MIS diode having $Ca_2$ film as an insulation layer exhibited the interface states as low as $1.58\times10^{11}cm^{-2}eV^{-1}$. This paper probes a possibility of new gate insulator materials for TFT applications.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the topical application of fluoride by iontophoresis on the fluoride concentration in the dental enamel. Eighty-eight healthy teeth were extracted from orthodontic patients and divided into three experimental groups at 0.2 mA and 0.5 mA current and a control group. Each experimental group was further divided into three subgroups according to the application time (1, 3, and 5 min). Five to six teeth were assigned to each subgroup. Inotophoresis was performed using a 2% sodium fluoride solution and each tooth was sliced into a $3{\times}3mm$ specimen on enamel. The fluoride concentration in the enamel was measured using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was used to estimate the atomic ratio of fluoride on the enamel surface on selected samples. The specimen was observed via scanning electron microscopy as well. This finding was confirmed by the result that the fluoride ratios estimated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was 2.71%, 2.87% and 3.80% after fluoride iontophoresis had been performed using a 2% sodium fluoride solution at 0.5 mA for 1, 3 and 5 min, respectively. In comparison, the fluoride ratio was 0.49% in the control group. As the current became higher and the time lapsed, the formation of irregular particles was strengthened on the enamel surface. Afterwards, the enamel surface was dissolved and new matrix was formed on the enamel. Fluorapatite was observed on the enamel after fluoride iontophoresis was performed at 0.5 mA for 5 min. The fluoride concentration tended to increase with increasing duration of iontophoresis. The study findings indicated that under proper conditions, fluoride iontophoresis has a positive effect in increasing the fluoride concentration in dental enamel.

The use of fluoride is one of the most effective methods for caries prevention. Fluoridation of public water supply has been recognized, for many years, as an effective way to reduce dental caries. The fluoride supplement has been recommended when the natural fluoride was unavailable or below the optimal range. However the mechanism of caries prevention by fluoride has not yet been clarified and it is well known that an overdose of fluoride results inacute and chronic toxicity, especially dental fluorosis. Fluoride mouthrinsing solution is widely used in dentistry due to its effectiveness in carrying anticariogenic action. Understanding the effects of fluoride mouthrinsing solution on human gingival fibroblasts will provide the safety rationale for its use during the caries preventive therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of fluoride mouthrinsing solution on the human gingival fibroblast in vitro. The human gingival fibroblasts were cultured from healthy gingiva on the extracted deciduous teeth of children. Cells were inoculated into a 24-well plate with $1{\times}10^4cells/well$ of medium at $37^{\circ}C$, 100% humidity, 5% $CO_2$ incubator for 24 hours. And the cells were counted by using the hemocytometer at each designed study. Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured in growth medium after one minute application range of 0.02%-0.2% NaF solution and 0.1% $SnF_2$ solution. The cells used in this study were between fifth to eighth passage number. The cell morphology was examined by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by incorporating $[^3H]$-thymidine into DNA. DNA synthesis by human gingival fibroblasts was assessed by $[^3H]$-thymidine uptake assays while the cell activity was measured by MTT assay. Each concentrated fluoride mouthrinsing solution was estimated for its biocompatability with fibroblasts by the tissue culture technique. The results of this study were as follows : 1. It was observed that at 0.05%, 0.2% NaF mouthrinsing solution the cytoplasmic processes became globular. When 0.1% $SnF_2$ mouthrinsing solution was applied, the cytoplasmic process and cell morphology were disappeared. 2. DNA synthetic activity was reduced regardless of the concentration of the fluoride mouthrinsing solution. However, the result is statistically insignificant except 0.1% $SnF_2$ mouthrinsing solution(p<0.05). 3. Our results indicate that 0.02%, 0.05% concentrations of NaF mouthrinsing solution caused minimal cytotoxicity. But 0.2% NaF and 0.1% $SnF_2$ concentration were a significant difference between the cell activity in the experimental group and control group (p<0.05). 4. After appling 0.05% & 0.02% NaF fluoride mouthrinsing solution, cell activity was restored to the control groups level according to incubating time. The results suggest that direct exposure to fluoride solution inhibits gingival fibroblast activity. Therefore, for the most effective use of fluoride use, lowering the concentration of fluoride mouthrinsing is advisable because it maintains biocompatability and free ion in the oral fluid.
To test the effects of representative fluoride vanishes-1.23% APF gel and 5% NaF Fluoride Varnish-on the surface structure of pit and fissure sealant, this study classified samples of pit and fissure sealant into five groups: Group I deposited in distilled water for ten minutes, Group II treated with APF gel for one minute, Group III treated with APF gel for four minutes, Group IV treated with Fluoride Varnish for one minute, and Group V treated with Fluoride Varnish for four minutes. An abrasion test was carried out to measure changes in weight, along with observation of the surface structure by using an optical microscope, consequently drawing the following conclusions. 1. The results of the abrasion test using pit and fissure sealant, Concise, showed that Group III had the reduction in weight more increased than Group I and that Group V had less reduction in weight (p<0.05); the results of the abrasion test using Eco-S showed Group III had the reduction in weight more increased than Group I and that Group V had less reduction in weight (p<0.05). 2. The results of observation using an optical microscope showed that application of APF gel made the filler remarkable due to loss of substrate and that Group III treated with APF gel for four minutes had the toughest surface, followed by Group II treated with APF gel for one minute, Group I deposited in distilled water for ten minutes, Group IV treated with Fluoride Varnish for one minute, and Group V treated with Fluoride Varnish for four minutes.

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare fluoride release of giomer (Beautifil Injectable), compomer ($Dyract^{(R)}$ XP), and composite resin ($Filtek^{TM}$ Z350XT) through adhesive (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose) layer. A total of 20 cylindrical specimens (7 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) of giomer, compomer and composite resin were prepared according to the manufacturers' instruction (10 with adhesive and 10 without adhesive). These specimens were immersed individually in 2 mL of deionized water at $37^{\circ}C$. The amount of fluoride release was measured on the $1^{st}$, $3^{rd}$, $7^{th}$, $14^{th}$, $21^{st}$, and $28^{th}$ day. To confirm uniform application of the adhesive layer, additional 18 specimens with adhesive were prepared and evaluated by scanning electron microscope. The giomer and compomer groups with adhesive applied showed no fluoride release until the $3^{rd}$ day. However, from the $7^{th}$ day, fluoride was detected. The application of dentin adhesive did not completely prevent fluoride release from giomer or compomer. Fluoride release was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced through the adhesive layer. The reduction of fluoride release was more remarkable on the giomer.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of fluoride containing adhesive film on prevention of enamel demineralization. Eighty bovine enamel blocks were divided randomly into 4 groups of 25: (1) APF gel applied ; (2) CavityShield$^{TM}$ applied; (3) 3% fluoride film applied; (4) 5% fluoride film applied; Early caries lesions were produced by placing each specimen into demineralization solution at pH 4.0 for 72 hours. Then lesion of the surface microhardness were measured by the Vicke's hardness test and the lesions depth were measured by polarizing light microscope. The results of the present study are as follows: 1. Difference of microhardness value ($M{\pm}SD$) between control and experimental side was the highest in group II, followed by group IV, III, I but, no significant difference was between group II, III and IV. 2. Difference of mean lesion depth ($M{\pm}SD$) between control and experimental side was the highest in group II, followed by group III, IV and I but no significant difference was between group III and IV. The results of the present study indicate that the fluoride film application is more effective than APF gel and is similar to fluoride varnish application for prevention of dental caries.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of remineralization and inhibition to demineralization after fluoride gel (acidulated phosphate fluoride, APF) or hydroxyapatite (HAp) paste application on interdentally stripped teeth. Methods: After interdental stripping, 1.23% APF or 5%, 10% HAp paste were applied for 7 days for remineralization. Afterwards, teeth were exposed to lactate carbopol buffer solution for demineralization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to compare change in surface contents and crystal structures after remineralization, and then after demineralization. Results: EDS analysis indicated that calcium (p < 0.001) and phosphate (p < 0.01) contents were increased after 10% HAp paste application on stripped enamel, calcium (p < 0.05) and phosphate (p < 0.01) contents were increased after 5% HAp paste application, and fluoride (p < 0.01) contents were increased after 1.23% APF application. SEM image showed that enamel surfaces became smoother and crystal structures became small and compact after APF or HAp application. After demineralization, calcium (p < 0.05) and phosphate (p < 0.05) contents remained increased on the enamel remineralized with 10% HAp paste, and phosphate (p < 0.05) contents remained increased on the enamel remineralized with 5% HAp paste. After demineralization, surfaces looked less destroyed in the enamel remineralized beforehand than those of the control, and small pores between crystal structures, formed by remineralization were remained. Conclusions: Hydroxyapatite paste and fluoride gel were helpful to remineralize and inhibit deminerlization on stripped enamel.
