Abstract
It is of interest to document data on the AWARENESS AMONG STUDENTS (18 to 25 years) ON ILL EFFECTS OF CARBONATED DRINK ON ENAMEL using an online survey questionnaire. Data shows that about 67.2% students consume carbonated drinks every day and only 41.8% of the students experienced ill effects. Moreover, 44.8% of students did not experience any discomfort after consumption of soft drinks. The prevalence of tooth erosion in students who consume soft drinks every day is high and the frequency of consumption of potentially erosive soft drinks with low pH values was the only possible risk factor for dental erosion. Most of the students did prefer fruit juices to carbonated drinks due to the constant exposure for a balanced health.
Highlights
This study mainly focuses on the ill effects of prolonged consumption of soft drinks on the enamel in the oral cavity
Intrinsic erosion occurs from involuntary gastrointestinal disturbances such as gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and from voluntary regurgitation of gastric acids exhibited by anorexic and or bulimic individuals
Enamel and Dentin appear susceptible to erosion, and this chemical wear process may act in synergy with physical wear processes, abrasion
Summary
This study mainly focuses on the ill effects of prolonged consumption of soft drinks on the enamel in the oral cavity. Several studies have examined a possible association between dental erosion and the consumption of soft drinks, i.e., carbonated cola beverages and citrus-based fruit drinks. There has been increased interest in the dental effects of soft drink beverages due to the escalating consumption by children and adolescents over the last decade. The aim and the objective of this research is to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practices of soft drink consumption and their dental health between age group 18 - 25 years students. It is of interest to document data on the awareness among students (18 to 25 years) on ill effects of carbonated drinks on enamel using an online survey questionnaire
