Abstract: this study investigated the effect of different drinks on the state of the tooth enamel and the quality of fit seals. The experiment was conducted at 80 remote intact teeth. It is proved that the most dangerous soda are popular «energy», beer and cola. Revealed that reducing the pH of the beverage impairs an airtight seal. In the experiment, 100% stake in the cases caused bright staining of the tooth enamel, airtight seal was broken in every other case. Influence of carbonated water on the tooth enamel, and the state seal was not revealed. Intermediate position occupied power engineer and beer. Keywords: carbonated drinks, fit seals, dye, tooth enamel.
The aim of this work was to study the influence of beverages on the state of hard tissues of teeth and the quality of the seals.
The fact that soda is harmful has already been written a lot of articles from different specialists. Perhaps the modern generation will need to be called "toothless generation" over time. Any soda and energy drinks are very dangerous for the health of the teeth. These drinks have such pH-factor level that it leads to tooth erosion and subsequent destruction of the dental structure caused by the action of acid. If a person consumes sweet soda every day, there is a very high probability that soon he may have serious problems with his teeth. The popularity of various drinks has undoubtedly increased in recent years. Someone slakes the thirst, someone gets pleasure in taste, someone drinks paying tribute to fashion and receives a charge of vivacity. And although it has long been proven that there is nothing more useful than pure mineral water, people still keep in the fridge a lot of other drinks, including carbonated.
Using carbonated drinks, we cause great harm to our tooth enamel, destroying it. As a result of the destruction of the enamel, our teeth become less healthy, painfully react to external stimuli - cold, hot, acidic food. Moreover, the destruction of the enamel leads to caries, which can subsequently lead to the destruction of the teeth.
To study the condition of the fillings, each intact tooth was prepared from the chewing surface and fillings were applied from the light-curing material. During the day, the fatigue processes were simulated, the samples were kept in distilled water. After that, the teeth were thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and divided into 4 groups: group I - was placed in Cosa-co1a, II - in energy drink, III - in beer, IV - in mineral water BonAqua (control). The exposition of each group was 24 hours.
Methylene blue was used as a dye to detect micro-flows. This choice is due to the fact that methylene blue is easy to visually detect and accurately measure the trace left. Methylene blue solution has a low molecular weight and penetrates deeper along the root fillings compared to other dyes. At the end of the specified time the test material was washed with distilled water. With the help of a diamond separation disc, the teeth were cut in a vertical plane passing through their longitudinal axis. This provided a better extraction of the dye and allowed to measure the depth of penetration of the dye into the tooth tissue. To detect seal depressurization, a qualitative method was used - the detection of any micro-
flows along the "tooth-seal" border, i.e. any presence of a dye along the border was recorded as a violation of the hermetism of seal. To identify the negative (erosive) effect of the drink on the enamel, samples (teeth) aged after the drink in the dye were washed and the degree of enamel staining was evaluated according to the point system proposed by N. V. Hetman, where 0 was considered the absence of staining, 1 point - the average degree of staining, 2 points - intensive staining.
This study investigated the effect of different drinks on the state of the tooth enamel and the quality of fit seals. It is proved that the most dangerous soda are popular energy drinks, beer and cola. Using the beverage "Coca-Cola" revealed bright staining of the enamel dye due to its demineralization in 100% of cases, the tightness of fillings was broken in every second case. Energy drinks and beer occupied intermediate position. Negative influence of the BonAqua mineral water on the hard tooth tissues and the condition of the fillings was not revealed.
