Dental erosion and severe tooth decay related to soft drinks: a case report and literature review

Abstract: 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 years. He had a history of drinking cola for more than 7 years and had a poor oral hygiene. Severe decays were present in the incisors and the canines, while less severe lesions were noted on the premolars and the … Show more

“…Tooth erosion is defined as an irreversible loss of enamel and dentin caused by non-bacterial chemical processes. Dental erosion occurs due to the presence of strong acids in the oral environment that derive from acidic foods and beverages such as fruit, fruit juices, carbonated beverages, and sports drinks as well as medicines such as hydrochloric acid tablets, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), and vitamin C [2,3]. Enamel is the hardest outer tooth epithelial layer and is largely composed of hydroxyapatite crystals.…”

“…This examination was performed in another room of the school, and the teenager was seated in front of the examiner. The index used corresponds to the evaluation of the buccal and palatal surfaces of the four upper incisors (11,12,21,22) and occlusal surfaces of the first permanent molars (16,26,36,46). Data was recorded by a calibrated assistant.…”

“…Dental erosion is characterized by irreversible loss of the mineral structure through a pathological and chronic process due to the chemical etch on the tooth surface by acid and/or chelation without bacterial involvement, originating from extrinsic or intrinsic factors 10 . The damage caused by extrinsic factors is a result of the action of exogenous acids from medicines, environment or diet, while those resulting from the intrinsic factors are due to the action of the endogenous acids, that is, stomach acids that come into contact with the teeth during regurgitation or gastric reflux 11 .…”
