COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF EROSIVE POTENTIAL OF PEDIATRIC LIQUID MEDICATIONS AND COMMONLY USED CARBONATED DRINK ON TOOTH ENAMEL AND TOOTH COLORED RESTORATIVE MATERIAL: AN IN VITRO STUDY

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