Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper has been to review the past and current literature on the determinants and control of soft drinks-incited dental erosion. METHODS: The authors used Medline to find relevant literature published until March 2009. Abstracts and full articles were read to identify studies and reviews describing various modifying factors and determinants of dental erosion. Additional information was obtained using manual library search. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Excessive exposure to various acid sources can contribute to the chemical erosion of tooth surfaces. While these acid sources have the potential to erode teeth, various chemical, biological and behavioral factors determines the erosive action of the acids they contain. Several interceptive and preventive means have been proposed to minimize damage to the dentition.
