Abstract

Aim: This study evaluates erosive potential of commonly used carbonated beverages, medicated syrup, and their effects on dental enamel with and without restoration,in vitro. Materials and Methods: Test medias used in this study included carbonated beverage (Thums UP), medicatedsyrup (zincovit multivitamin syurp and moxikindcv) and saline water as the control. A total of 80 enamel sections were obtained from 40 previously extracted human premolar teeth were selected for the study. samples were divided into two groups and further subdivided into 4 subgroups each. Test specimens weredistributed to four beverages groups and comprised 10 specimens per group. Surface roughness (profilometer) readings were performed at baseline and again and following immersion for 14 days. the result was obtained and statistical analysis was carried out. Results: For surface roughness of both carbonated beverage and medicated syrup showed the significant difference respectively compared to the control group. Conclusion: carbonated drink shows the highest surface roughness value among all test media and thus greater erosive potential to enamel also medicated syrup showed significant changes surface roughness value compared to control group.
