AB  - INTRODUCTION: Continuous balanced demineralization and remineralization are 
      natural dynamic processes in enamel. If the balance is interrupted and 
      demineralization process dominates, it may eventually lead to the development of 
      carious lesions in enamel and dentine. Fluoride helps control decay by enhancing 
      remineralization and altering the structure of the tooth, making the surface less 
      soluble. METHODOLOGY: One hundred and twenty sound human permanent incisors 
      randomly and equally distributed into six groups as follows: Group I - Control, 
      II - Sodium fluoride solution, III - Sodium fluoride gel, IV - Sodium fluoride 
      varnish, V - Clinpro Tooth Creme (3M ESPE), and VI-GC Tooth Mousse Plus or MI 
      Paste Plus. The samples were kept in artificial saliva for 12 months, and the 
      topical fluoride agents were applied to the respective sample groups as per the 
      manufacturer instructions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) evaluation of all 
      the samples after 6 and 12 months was made. RESULTS: Morphological changes on the 
      enamel surface after application of fluoride in SEM revealed the presence of 
      globular precipitate in all treated samples. Amorphous, globular, and crystalline 
      structures were seen on the enamel surface of the treated samples. Clear 
      differences were observed between the treated and untreated samples. CONCLUSION: 
      Globular structures consisting of amorphous CaF2precipitates, which acted as a 
      fluoride reservoir, were observed on the enamel surface after action of different 
      sodium fluoride agents. CPP-ACPF (Tooth Mousse) and Tricalcium phosphate with 
      fluoride (Clinpro tooth creme) are excellent delivery vehicles available in a 
      slow release amorphous form to localize fluoride at the tooth surface.
