Opis

Beverages [ Soft Drinks and Fruit Juices ] are consumed by everyone, everyday including children. According to recent survey beverages have been included as a part of diet. Due to their low pH and effect of acid they are harmful to the oral cavity especially tooth and restorations leading to decay as well as erosion .Dental erosion is commonly seen who Consumes these beverages very frequently. Excessive contact of the tooth structure with acidic food over a prolonged duration of time leads to proportionate loss of dental hard tissues. It can be assumed that restorative materials are also subjected to low pH values in the oral cavity by erosive attacks, leading to a degradation of their surface integrity. High intake of acidic drinks, fruit juices may constitute possible etiological and/or aggravating factors for severe dental erosion, tooth decay around restorations [filling]. Childrens are more susceptible to erosion because of their morphology i.e deciduous or Primary teeth have softer enamel when compared to permanent teeth. Therefore the present book was conducted to evaluate the effects of Beverages [ cola drink and fresh fruit juice ] on the Restorations.
