Abstract
Introduction: Tooth enamel is a tissue that undergoes a high mineralization process but is susceptible to acidic foods and drinks. Calcium and phosphate are the main components of tooth enamel. Isotonic drinks are soft drinks that people like because they can replace body fluids when dehydrated, but these drinks are high in acid content, which accelerates tooth enamel decay. Material and methods. Laboratory experimental study (in vitro), a sample of 16 maxillary first premolars were divided into two groups. All teeth are separated by crowns and roots. In group one, the isotonic solution measured calcium levels with a wavelength of 420 nm, and in the second group of isotonic solutions, the phosphate level was measured at a wavelength of 590 nm. Furthermore, the teeth were immersed in 20 ml of isotonic drink for 60 seconds, then the levels of dissolved calcium and phosphate were measured again with a UV-vis spectrophotometer. Results. There was a significant difference in the increase in the solubility of calcium and phosphate in tooth enamel before and after immersed in isotonic drink P=0.012 (P<0.05) Conclusion. Isotonic drink affects the solubility of calcium and phosphate in tooth enamel.
