In vitro evaluation of the erosive potential of viscosity-modified soft acidic drinks on enamel

Objective The objective of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of viscosity-modified soft acidic drinks on enamel erosion. Materials and methods A total of 108 bovine enamel samples (∅ = 3 mm) were embedded in acrylic resin and allocated into six groups ( n  = 18). Soft acidic drinks (...

Description
Summary:Objective The objective of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of viscosity-modified soft acidic drinks on enamel erosion. Materials and methods A total of 108 bovine enamel samples (∅ = 3 mm) were embedded in acrylic resin and allocated into six groups ( n  = 18). Soft acidic drinks (orange juice, Coca-Cola, Sprite) were used both in their regular forms and at a kinetic viscositiy of 5 mm 2 /s, which was adjusted by adding hydroxypropyl cellulose. All solutions were pumped over the enamel surface from a reservoir with a drop rate of 3 ml/min. Each specimen was eroded for 10 min at 20 °C. Erosion of enamel surfaces was measured using profilometry. Data were analyzed using independent t tests and one-way ANOVAs ( p
