“…Regular exercisers are more likely to experience tooth erosion, especially if they consume a lot of sports beverages [ 95 ]. In recent years, the ability of biomimetic hydroxyapatite-based mouthwashes and toothpaste to remineralize teeth has been investigated [ 95 , 96 ]. When used alone or in conjunction with a mouthwash that also contains hydroxyapatite, hydroxyapatite toothpaste is an efficient home treatment for tooth erosion in physically active people such as rugby players [ 95 , 96 ].…”

Damage from Carbonated Soft Drinks on Enamel: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

The present study was conducted to analyze the erosive potential of the ever-increasing consumption of carbonated drinks on the dental surface. To identify relevant studies, a comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science covering the last 5 years (2018–2023) using the following Boolean keywords: “soft drinks AND tooth”. Finally, a total of 19 studies were included. The initial search provided a total of 407 items. Nineteen records were finally involved in the inclusion phase, seven of which were in vivo and twelve in vitro. An abuse of carbonated acid substances leads to an increase in the possibility of dental erosion with consequent structural disintegration and reduction of the physical and mechanical properties of the enamel. There is thus greater bacterial adhesion on rougher surfaces, determined by the erosive process, and therefore a greater risk of caries. The pH of most commercialized carbonated drinks is lower than the critical pH for the demineralization of the enamel. Carbonated drinks’ pH and duration of exposure have different deleterious effects on enamel.

Purpose of review The aim of this review was to describe in detail the aetiological events involved in the abfraction phenomenon, examining the action of irregular occlusal forces, analysing the evidence supporting this aetiological hypothesis, and highlighting the controversies surrounding this theory. Recent findings Noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are the result of two widely accepted pathological mechanisms: erosion and abrasion. These lesions generally affect adults after the age of 30, and approximately 10–40% of adults in this age bracket have this condition. Premolars are the primary teeth affected by NCCLs. Characteristic symptoms include progressive and ongoing loss of mineralized tissue, primarily on the buccal surfaces of collars. As the dentine is exposed, the tooth becomes increasingly sensitive. Over time, the lesion tends to deepen towards the dental pulp, and the dental crown or pulpitis may fracture. Both abrasion and erosion alone cannot fully explain all types of NCCLs. For some lesions, this difference appears to be related to an aetiopathological mechanism defined as abfraction, which combines the aetiological events of erosion and abrasion with the application of irregular occlusal loads along the occlusal surfaces of dental crowns. This study was conducted by following the PRISMA protocol guidelines for scoping reviews, and the protocol was registered on INPLASY prior to execution. The studies were identified through literature searches in the PubMed and Scopus databases using the following keywords: "abfraction" and "NCCL". The risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-I. Summary The search led to the inclusion of only 6 studies out of a total of 1449 identified articles. The analysis of these studies, which correlated the progression of NCCLs to the forces applied to the teeth, did not provide sufficient evidence to confirm or refute the aetiological role of occlusal loads in the onset of abfractions. However, clues emerged that would require further confirmation through prospective longitudinal studies, which must consider the inclusion of other aetiological mechanisms, such as abrasion and erosion.

Background This study aims to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and associated sociodemographic and work-related factors among dental assistants (DAs) in the hail province, Saudi Arabia. Methods Participants were 119 DAs with an average age of 28.9 years (SD ± 4.8 years), of whom 86.6% were females. A self-administered questionnaire which included Nordic Musculoskeletal questionnaire and questions on socio-demographic and work-related factors was used. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate the prevalence of MSDs during the past 12 months and 7 days. Multivariate binary logistic regression statistical tests were used to calculate the association between MSDs and socio-demographic and work-related factors. Results The overall prevalence of MSDs among DAs was significantly high, with 85.7% reporting symptoms during the past 12 months and 47.9% during the past 7 days. The shoulders, followed by the lower back, were the most common complaints among participants in the past 12 months and 7 days, followed by the upper back and neck. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis results show significant associations between MSDs and age, Body-Mass-Index (BMI), physical demands during working hours, work environment and posture awareness, and years of experience. Conclusions The prevalence of MSDs among DAs is high, and sociodemographic and work-related factors play an important role in exacerbation of MSDs in DAs.
