Acid fizzy drink: dissolution of enamel

Introduction: erosion is the superficial loss of enamel caused by chemical process do not involve bacterias but extrinsic factors as the high consumption of low pH drinks. Aim: evaluate the enamel superficial roughness of the bovine teeth after the contact of acid solutions. Material and methods: lemonade (group 1), artificial juice in powder with lemon flavor (group 2), and a light soft drink made of cola and lemon (group 3), evaluate the enamel superficial roughness of the bovine after action of solutions. Results: the roughness average was: GI (0,0120), GII (0,3215), GIII (0,0275). Conclusion: the beverage’s effects and the time were statistically significant, GII showed the biggest superficial roughness when compared with GI and GIII.
