Abstract
Solutions, gels, and substantially nonaqueous dispersions that form dicalcium phosphate dihydrate under appropriate conditions are disclosed, as well as methods for their use. These compositions are useful in topically fluoridating and/or mineralizing dental tissue, such as enamel, dentin, and exposed root surfaces. The incorporated fluoride is in the form of Ca.sub.5 (PO.sub.4).sub.3 F and is more permanently retained than CaF.sub.2 and other fluoridation products.
