Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to perform an acid wear properties review (pH, entitlement and buffering effect) of diets that can influence dental and restorative aging. Methodology: Manuscripts from the Pubmed database were collected. The search terms were: “Dental erosion”, “Erosion”, “Food habits”, “acidity”, “tooth enamel solubility”, “carbonated drinks”, “hydroxyapatite” and “alcoholic beverage consumption” between the years of 1995 and 2020. Result: 755 manuscripts were initially obtained, but after analyzing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 manuscripts were selected at the end. After analyzing the 15 manuscripts included in the literature review, the results of the study showed that most of the diets evaluated had a pH lower than 5.5, except for coffee and mineral water. The soft drinks and Kombucha had lower pH values and therefore more corrosive potential. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it may be concluded that most of the diets evaluated present a corrosive potential for dental structure and restorative materials.
Highlights
Acid foods are part of routine diet of most people nowadays
Frequent and prolonged contact of teeth or restorative materials with acidic foods promote erosion or biocorrosion. This is a complex process that happens in a chemical reaction and the potential of acids aggression for the teeth depends on some chemical properties of these food (Shellis, Featherstone, & Lussi, 2014)
All those properties are related to the surface degradation caused by biocorrosion and it can be the reason for appearance of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL), dentin hypersensitivity (DH) and tooth wear
Summary
Acid foods are part of routine diet of most people nowadays. They are included on healthy and unhealthy diet. It is important to understand titration to determine the time that acids take to be buffered when it reacts with titrating substances (Grippo et al, 2012) All those properties are related to the surface degradation caused by biocorrosion and it can be the reason for appearance of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL), dentin hypersensitivity (DH) and tooth wear. They are not caused by isolated factors (Teixeira, Zeola, Machado, Gomes, Souza, Mendes & Soares et al, 2018). The objective of this study was to perform a biocorrosion properties review (Potential of Hydrogen- pH, Titratable acid and buffer effect) of various foods that can influence dental and restorative aging
