“…Beverage compositions vary widely; the milieu of nutrients and nonnutrients likely influences the capacity for erosion [16,17]. Calcium and fluoride have been shown to limit the extent of erosion by saturating the solution and/or altering the solubility of enamel [1,9,12,14,18].…”

Acidic beverages are thought to increase the potential for dental erosion. We report pH and titratable acidities (i.e., quantity of base required to bring a solution to neutral pH) of beverages popular in the United States and lesion depths in enamel and root surfaces following beverage exposure, and we describe associations among pH, titratable acidity and both enamel and root erosive lesion depths. The pH of 100% juices, regular sodas, diet sodas and sports drinks upon opening, and the titratable acidity both upon opening and after 60 minutes of stirring were measured. Enamel and root surfaces of healthy permanent molars and premolars were exposed to individual beverages (4 enamel and 4 root surfaces per beverage) for 25 hours and erosion was measured. Statistical analyses included twosample t-tests, analyses of variance with post hoc Tukey's studentized range test; and Spearman rank correlation coefficients. All beverages were acidic; the titratable acidity of energy drinks was greater than regular sodas and diet sodas which were greater than 100% juices and sports drinks (P<0.05). Enamel lesion depths following beverage exposures were greatest for Gatorade® followed by Red Bull® and Coke® which were greater than Diet Coke® and 100% apple juice (P <0.05). Root lesion depths were greatest for Gatorade® followed by Red Bull®, Coke®, 100% apple juice and Diet Coke® (P<0.05). Lesion depths were not associated with pH or titratable acidity. Beverages popular in the United States can produce dental erosion.

“…Relatively low levels of agreement between examiners in identification of enamel tooth surface loss was noted in the 2003 UK National Child Dental Health survey. 13 Many indices describe area and depth of surface loss in terms of enamel and dentine involvement. The amount of eroded dentine expressed in percentage terms of the area of the surface was first described by Eccles who used <1/3 or >1/3 as the threshold for the grades Class II or Class III.…”

“…13 The proportion of exposed dentine on any given surface is typically stated as less than or more than a third or in some indices a 50% threshold is applied. The BEWE has a 50% threshold for the area of hard tissue loss of the surface irrespective of whether this is enamel or dentine.…”

“…26 Dental trauma is particularly common in the 6-to 12-year-old age group. Depending on the angle and the magnitude of force, trauma may result in injuries ranging from fracture of the crown to concussive, intrusive-, or extrusive-type injuries to the tooth to outright fractures of the alveolar process or the jaws.…”

“…This may in part account for the observation that the most common permanent injury among teeth subjected to trauma is the fracture of an incisal portion of the crown. 26 Although all types of injury to the maxillofacial complex require prompt evaluation by a dentist, it is essential that all patients with avulsive injuries of permanent teeth be treated immediately. Studies have shown that if the tooth is reimplanted within 60 minutes, the success rate of reimplantation is dramatically improved.…”
