Study on the theory that cola-chewing affects dental decays by changing pH in saliva shows--a short term increase in saliva pH (approx. 1.02) becoming normal again after 30 minutes. Spacing cola consumption out during the day and after meals rich in carbohydrates can compensate for the drop in
The effect of stepwise sugar reduction in cola drinks was tested in a programmed animal experiment using Wistar rats. In a parallel study the pH-decrease at different sucrose concentrations was measured in vitro using a plaque model system which involved s. mutans (strain OMZ 176). The reduction of
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the cariogenicity of various fluids that are frequently fed to infants and toddlers. We chose to examine sucrose, cola drink, honey, human milk, cow milk, and water because some of these have been associated with development of early
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate in vitro the erosive effects of beverages in the presence or absence of caries simulation (acidogenic challenge) on the microhardness of primary enamel.
METHODS
Forty human primary teeth were submitted to the erosive effects: 3 × 20-min-long daily immersion in fresh orange
UNASSIGNED
Frequent consumption of sugars-containing carbonated beverages has been associated with caries, but the consequences on the dental biofilm remain unclear. The aim was to evaluate the effect of commercial carbonated beverages and their sugar-free version on enamel and dentine
Soft drinks have many potential health problems. The inherent acids and sugars have both acidogenic and cariogenic potential, resulting in dental caries and potential enamel erosion. In this report we present a 25-year-old man complaining with the severe worn-out of the front teeth during the past 3
OBJECTIVE
To measure the prevalence and severity of dental caries in adolescents of the city of Porto, Portugal, and to assess socioeconomic and behavioural covariates of dental caries experience.
METHODS
A sample of 700 thirteen-year-old schoolchildren was examined. Results from the dental
Objective/hypothesis: Button batteries (BBs) impacted in the nasal cavity can cause several complications. Understanding the injury mechanism and developing possible mitigation strategies can reduce these complications.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the relative performance, in an in vitro assay, of a standard dentifrice (Colgate Cavity Protection) with an experimental anhydrous 0.454% w/w stannous fluoride dentifrice at protecting the dentin smear layer against dietary acids.
METHODS
Artificial smear layers were created on
OBJECTIVE
Using scanning electron and light microscopy, this study qualitatively evaluated the erosive potential of carbonated cola beverages as well as sports and high-energy drinks on enamel surface substrate.
METHODS
Beverages used in this study included: Coca Cola Classic, Diet Coke, Gatorade
BACKGROUND
In the developing countries, dental caries has increased with the increased exposure to dietary sugars. There is no data on the cariogenicity and acidogenicity of popular beverages in the Syrian market.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the endogenous pH, titratable acidity, and total sugar
Purpose: To evaluate the surface roughness and hardness of thermopolymerized acrylic resin incorporated with nanostructured silver vanadate (AgVO3) subjected to saliva and beverages.
Methods:
OBJECTIVE
This study was performed to evaluate the oral health of children with PKU and to assess, in vitro, the erosive potential of 5 amino acid supplements commonly prescribed in the management of these children.
METHODS
Forty children with phenylketonuria underwent a full dental examination and
The objective was to compare the erosive effect of some commonly used acidic drinks and milk products on a bovine tooth enamel model system. Conditions were selected to be sufficiently severe to cause erosion. Loss of material after erosion experiments was measured by recording the depth of the
