![]() ![]() Canary numbers and ambient light and fluorescent photographs were collected at baseline (T0 ) and on days 14 (T1 ) and 28 (T2 ). The teeth were exposed to its beverage three times a day for 15 minutes for 28 days. Each group was tested in one of six beverages or a phosphate-buffered solution (control). A total of 105 extracted human premolars were divided into seven groups (n=15). The hypothesis was that the Canary Caries Detection System could be used to quantify the degree of WSLs caused by different commercial beverages. Quantifying the degree of the lesion has been limited in the past. This population often is in orthodontic treatment, and the use of such drinks with poor oral hygiene promotes the development of white spot lesions (WSLs). The use of sports and energy drinks has drastically increased in the adolescent population. ![]() © 2022, University of Defence, Faculty of Military Health Sciences. Thus, it may be advisable to increase the intake of milk or other dairy product to overcome the adverse impact of carbonated beverages. Conclusion: The regular intake of carbonated beverage (Pepsi®) increase calcium excretion. Total calcium excretion in urine increase was statistically significant when compared with calcium excretion at the study beginning. Although, there was a trend toward reduction in pH and an increase in crystalluria. Results: Urine pH and crystalluria after 3 weeks' intake of 250 ml of carbonated beverage did not statistically differ from urine pH before the intake. pH, crystalluria, and calcium in urine have been measured. On the last day, urine was collected again over 24hr. ![]() Urine has been collected over 24 hours, the next day each volunteer has to drink 250 ml of carbonated beverage (Pepsi®) daily for 3 weeks. Methods: 21 healthy volunteers have been recruited in this study (9 males and 12 females) abstain for any carbonated beverages for at least the previous 4 weeks before participating in this study. This study aims to reveal the effect of sub-chronic intake of carbonated beverage on urinary pH, crystalluria, calcium excretion. The latter has direct effect on teeth, bone and general wellbeing. Carbonated beverages sugar content, caffeine, and acidulant all can affect in a way or another calcium absorption, metabolism and excretion. Carbonated beverage consumption vast increase raises great health concerns regarding their effect on calcium homeostasis besides obesity and renal function. Specific dietary recommendations for the prevention of dental erosion may now be developed based on the patient's history of beverage consumption.īackground: Carbonated beverages are very popular worldwide. This study's findings provide dental clinicians and auxiliaries with information regarding the erosive potential of commercially available beverages. This comprehensive pH assessment of commercially available beverages in the United States found that most are potentially erosive to the dentition. Relative beverage erosivity zones based on studies of apatite solubility in acid indicated that 39% (149 of 379) of the beverages tested in this study were considered extremely erosive (pH < 3.0), 54% (205 of 379) were considered erosive (pH 3.0 to 3.99), and 7% (25 of 379) were considered minimally erosive (pH ≥ 4.0). Most (93%, 354 of 379) beverages had a pH of less than 4.0, and 7% (25 of 379) had a pH of 4.0 or more. The authors recorded the pH data as mean (standard deviation). They used a pH meter to measure the pH of each beverage in triplicate immediately after it was opened at a temperature of 25☌. The authors purchased 379 beverages from stores in Birmingham, Alabama, and categorized them (for example, juices, sodas, flavored waters, teas, and energy drinks) and assessed their pH. The authors of this study determined the erosive potential measured by the pH of commercially available beverages in the United States. In addition, citrate chelation of calcium ions may contribute to erosion at higher pH. Research indicates that low pH is the primary determinant of a beverage's erosive potential. Dental erosion is the chemical dissolution of tooth structure in the absence of bacteria when the environment is acidic (pH < 4.0). ![]()
