Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of carbonated water on etched or sealed enamel according to the carbonation level and the presence of calcium ions. Methods Carbonated water with different carbonation levels was manufactured by a soda carbonator. Seventy-five premolar teeth were randomly divided into a control group and 4 experimental groups in accordance with ...

BACKGROUND Erosion is a common condition which manifests due to consumption of high caloric and low pH acidic food stuffs such as carbonated drinks and fruit juices which cause irreversible damage to dental hard tissues and early deterioration of the dental restorations. AIM The main aim of this study is to evaluate and to compare the erosive potential of carbonated drink (cola) and fruit jui...

Background: Discoloration of composite restorations may affecting aesthetic appearance. The aging-process and surface roughness influence color changes. A nanofilled self-adhesive protecting coating has been developed for tooth restoration expected to prolong the longevity restoration. To evaluate effect protective on color-changes flowable packable after aging condition. 
 Methods: total ...

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 prem...

This study evaluated, in vitro, the effect of iron (previously exposed with enamel powder or added directly to the beverage) on the erosive potential of carbonated or decarbonated beverage. Four sets of experiments were done. For groups E1 and E3, a solution containing 30 mmol/L FeSO4 was added to bovine enamel powder (particles between 75-106 mm) before exposure to the carbonated or decarbonat...

BACKGROUND Bottles containing carbonated drinks are potentially hazardous to the eye. In this study, we aimed to document the clinical characteristics and visual outcomes in a series of patients with ocular injury from flying metal caps of carbonated mineral water bottles. METHODS Retrospective review of ocular injuries due to metal caps of carbonated mineral water bottles. RESULTS Sixteen ...

Caffeine is a natural substance present in leaves and seeds of many plants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the caffeine level in the carbonated drinks from the Romanian market. For this survey were taken 30 samples of different carbonated drinks. The caffeine was determined and quantified using a HPLC with diode array detector at 206 nm. The caffeine retention time was at 17.785 minutes. ...

Microstructural characteristics and biocompatibility of a Type-B carbonated hydroxyapatite (HA) coating prepared on NiTi SMA by biomimetic deposition were characterized using XRD, SEM, XPS, FTIR and in vitro studies including hemolysis test, MTT cytotoxicity test and fibroblasts cytocompatibility test. It is found CO(3)(2-) groups were present as substitution of PO(4)(3-) anions in HA crystal l...
