The Erosivity Potential Of Common Pediatric Over-The-Counter Medications And Its Reduction By Remineralising Agents
Author(s): Huang LL, Chai L and Seow WKHuang LL, Chai L and Seow WK
Aim: The exposure of children’s teeth to acidic medications poses a risk for dental erosion, yet the erosivity of paediatric medications has scarcely been reported. The present study investigated the erosive potential of paediatric over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and assessed the change of the erosive potential in the presence of remineralising agents.
Methods: A range of paediatric OTC medications and commercially available drinks was examined for pH and titratable acidity (TA). Detailed testings of pH and TA were investigated on representative drinks after addition of remineralising agents: Tooth Mousse® (TM), Tooth Mousse Plus® (TMP), ClinproTM, 1.23% neutral sodium fluoride (NaF), and artificial saliva (AS).
Results: Paediatric OTC medications exhib.. View More»
