“…Different research groups have pointed out sour sweets as a new type of erosive challenge [33]. A very recent study showed that not only the pH of the drinks but also the high intake of sour sweets could increase the risk of dental erosive wear [34].…”

The aim of the present study was to assess the dietary habits and oral hygiene practice of dental students in a new dental school. A self-administered structured closed-ended questionnaire on demographic characteristics, medical history, oral hygiene and dietary habits was distributed to dental students. Results showed that One third of students indicated that they don't consume low pH beverages (soft drinks) at all, while 48.9% drink a soft drink or two a day. Students took varying amount of time to consume their drinks. The majority of participants consumed citric juices, fruits and/or pickles at least once a day. 91.3% of students use either soft (41.8%) or medium (49.5%) toothbrush. Only a fifth (16.9%) of the students brush their teeth after drinking soft drinks and 58.2% brush their teeth after vomiting. In conclusion, young adults need to be aware about their dietary habits & oral hygiene, and also a proper dental health program needs to be applied.

“…This is in agreement with comparable studies showing the erosive potential of solid acidic candies. [21][22][23][24][25] The smallest decrease in salivary pH in vivo was observed after administration of a single dose of 'Magic spray strawberry' . This is probably related to three factors.…”

“…The buffering effects of the stimulated salivary fl ow may provide some protection against the erosive potential of acidic candy. 21,22,31 However, citric acid is a complex organic acid. At low pH values, citric acid provides protons which directly attack the mineral surface.…”

“…Consequently, the intra-oral pH may decrease for a long time to values between 4 and 4.5; a considerable risk for the development of dental erosion. 19,20 During the last decade, a new type of candy in spray-form has been introduced. These candies, which are directly sprayed onto oral surfaces, have an extremely low pH of 1.9-2.3.…”
