In Vitro Assessment of Erosive Effects of Some Common Soft Drinks on Dental Hard Tissues

Abstract

Background/Aim: The chemical nature of soft drinks is acidic, so they possess the capacity to cause hard tissue erosion. The aim of this study is to assess the potentially erosive effect linked to pH and titratable acidity of some common soft drinks on dental hard tissues in prolonged time exposure.
