HF was selected as fluorine-containing rengent which was added into mixed Ca ( NO3 )2-P2O5 ethanol solutions to obtain dipping sols. All of the resulting samples showed apatite structure in their X- ray diffraction pattern. The lattice parameter a and the crystallite size were calculated to demonstrate the crystalline structure of fluoridated and potassium containing HA. Extracted paired premolars were chosen to obtain a fiat surface with opened tubules. It was observed that the tubules were covered by a 10 μm layer of fluoridated and potassium containing HA under the SEM.
