TLDR
The results indicate that the influence of F–– on HA solubility cannot be attributed to CaF2 (either as a layer or as discrete crystallites) or to a fluorapatite layer and suggest that the rate of HA dissolution is modified by a rapidly attained F–– equilibrium at the dissolving surface.
Abstract
The solubility of powdered hydroxyapatite (HA) in acidic buffer solution (pH 4.65) was reduced by 71% by adding sufficient fluoride (F––; either by previously treating the HA with NaF solution or by introducing NaF at the start of the dissolution) to replace approximately 25% of all surface unit cell OH–– ions. The same amount of F–– was less effective if added as NaF after the start of the dissolution. Addition of CaF2 had no effect. The results indicate that the influence of F–– on HA solubility cannot be attributed to CaF2 (either as a layer or as discrete crystallites) or to a fluorapatite layer and suggest that the rate of HA dissolution is modified by a rapidly attained F–– equilibrium at the dissolving surface.

Effect of fluoride in phosphate buffer solution on bonding to artificially carious enamel.

TL;DR: The bond strengths of both adhesive systems to artificially carious enamel significantly increased after immersion in fluoride-phosphate buffer solution, and it is proposed not to remove the white enamel lesions for bonding in the clinic.
