The in vitro erosion potentials of acidic foods have received much less attention than the erosion potentials of beverages. 13 – 17, 19 Observed in vivo erosion is also thought to be influenced by quantity of beverage consumed, length of consumption episode and oral habits such as holding or swishing the beverage in the mouth. 18 The in vitro erosion potentials of beverages consumed in Europe and the United States have been reported, and are thought to be associated with the beverage’s pH, titratable acidity and mineral composition. 6 – 12 In European countries, in vivo erosion is most often associated with acidic beverage consumption, 13 – 17 although Milosevic has reported associations between erosion and dietary intakes of vinegar-containing and spicy foods in 14 year olds.
1, 2, 5Įrosion is more commonly observed in European, Middle Eastern and South American countries than in the United States. 3, 4 Extrinsic erosion is associated with environmental exposures, including acidic foods and beverages.
Intrinsic erosion is associated with exposure to gastrointestinal fluids and reported in individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disorders or eating disorders. 1, 2 Erosion is categorized as either intrinsic or extrinsic in nature. Dental erosion is defined as the chemical removal of the enamel surface, and can increase risk of tooth wear associated with mechanical forces.
