Abstract: This study evaluated the effects of acidic medicines (Dimetapp® and Claritin®), under pH-cycling conditions, on the surface degradation of four composite resins (microhybrid: TPH, Concept, Opallis and Nanofilled: Supreme). Thirty disc-shaped specimens (Ø = 5.0 mm / thickness = 2.0 mm) of each composite were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n = 10): a control and two experimental groups, according to the acidic medicines evaluated. The specimens were finished and polished with aluminum oxide discs, and the surfac… Show more

“…Other in vitro studies observed the erosive effects of some medicines, such as antiasthmatic syrups (9), iron supplements (4,6), antiallergic/expectorant medications (5,6,8) and reported enamel surface roughness, microhardness and morphological alteration findings (9). The erosive potential of ferrous sulfate hypothesized by Passos et al (25), was confirmed in the present research.…”

“…Increased acidic food and drink consumption has become the primary extrinsic source of dental erosive agents (1), although acidic medicines and behavioral factors have also been identified as extrinsic etiologic factors in dental erosion (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

“…The longevity of these restorations depends on their abilities to withstand the harsh conditions of the oral environment such as biodegradation [5]. Gopferich et al [6], described the degradation as a "chain scission process during which polymer chains are cleaved to form first oligomers and then monomers".…”

“…The palatability of these medicines is increased with the addition of sugars such as sucrose, glucose or fructose to foster patients' acceptability and thus compliance [12,13]. Furthermore, the pH is formulated to optimize their efficacy, and, usually acidic preparations are often necessary for drug dispersion [5,14,15]. Thus, liquid oral medicines may act as extrinsic agents causing biodegradation of resin-based materials, especially if consumed frequently [5].…”
