Erosive Effect

The present study was conducted to investigate the endogenous erosive potential of some of the most commonly used pediatric liquid medicaments in our day to day practice. Eight commonly used pediatric liquid medicaments were selected and their endogenous pH was measured using a pH electrode meter. Twenty four exfoliated or extracted primary teeth without any carious lesion/restorations, maintained in selected pediatric liquid medicaments were observed under SEM after 1 min, 10 mins and 8 hours of time intervals. The pH ranged between 6.05 (Salbutamol) to 6.77 (Paracetamol) which were acidic, whereas Theophylline had a basic pH of 7.71. The irregular pattern of pit –like erosion area were seen in all specimens, varying from site to site and probably depending on the prismatic versus aprismatic nature and composition of the affected enamel. In conclusion, all the pediatric liquid medicaments used in this study showed an erosive effect on the primary enamel surface irrespective of their pH when viewed under SEM.

Erosive Effect

A lot of studies reported a strong association between beverages consumption and dental erosion. The erosive effect of soft drinks depends on their composition, pH or on individual salivary flow rate. The main methods used for analysing this effect are: profilometry, which measuring the enamel loss during demineralisation, and microscopic analysis. This study is an experiment developed in order to analyse the human enamel and dentine surfaces previously exposed to beverages. The main results of this study showed that soft drinks which contain both, sugar and phosphoric acid have the greatest erosive potential on human enamel and dentine compared to other beverages.

Introduction: Calcium release from the enamel surface is known as enamel demineralisation. Enamel demineralisation is a chemical process of mineral loss from the email structure. One of the factors that cause demineralisation is the presence of acids derived from food or beverages consumed. This study was aimed to determine the effects of soft drinks and the amount of calcium release from the enamel surface. Methods: This study was an in-vitro experimental. The population was extracted maxillary premolars from orthodontics clinics in health centres, hospitals, and private clinics throughout Bandung and Jakarta. As many as 20 crown of maxillary premolars divided into two groups. Dissolved calcium was measured using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Data obtained was tested using an independent t-test. Results: The results showed that the amount of calcium released after exposure of soft drink was higher than soda water. The average amount of calcium released after soft drink exposure was 4122 ppm and soda water was 3492 ppm. Conclusion: Soft drink affects the calcium release from the enamel surface.

The anti-erosion effect of fluoride on the enamel surface was investigated by ATR-FTIR, SEM and EDX techniques. Four extracted teeth (two incisors and two premolars) were initially bleached with carabamide peroxide and etched with ortho-phosphoric acid then fluoride treatment was applied. Significant differences in enamel composition and morphology were observed providing the effect of fluoride application in remineralization of teeth. Infrared spectroscopy was employed to probe the changes in enamel structure. Scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis revealed higher content in F of teeth enamel. Morphology changes revealed a re-mineralization of enamel surface after the treatment with fluoride gel.

Erosive Effect

Summary Background/Aim: The chemical nature of soft drinks is acidic, so they possess the capacity to cause hard tissue erosion. The aim of this study is to assess the potentially erosive effect linked to pH and titratable acidity of some common soft drinks on dental hard tissues in prolonged time exposure. Material and Methods: Seven types of soft drinks in Romanian market were selected for this study. The pH and Titratable acidity were determined. Twenty one human dental hard tissue specimens were immersed in 5 ml solution each for 336h. Every 48h weight loss was determined for each specimen and after 336h volume changes were calculated. Enamel microhardness was determined using a Microhardness Tester model HV-1000 and compared to normal enamel microhardness. Results: The pH values of beverages ranged from 2.37 to 3.1, showing no significant differences. All specimens presented color and surface texture modifications, weight loss and volume reduction. There were found significant differences between the mean values of weight loss and enamel microhardness of each type of specimens and type of beverages tested. The most representative findings were achieved by indentations done in specific zones on Sprite® immersed specimen. This result suggest that microhardness near the eroded surface was significant lower than in other zones. Conclusions: Data obtained have shown that all the soft drinks tested had an erosive effect, causing dental hard tissue dissolution. For prolonged time exposure titratable acidity may be a major predictor for erosive potential. Dental erosion may affect different levels of enamel causing decreased enamel microhardness.
