ABSTRACT
Background & Objective: Consumption of soft drinks plays a major role in a variety of diseases like obesity, diabetes, dental and bone disorders and others, more so among children and adolescents. The objective of this study to measure the changes in salivary pH on exposure to various flavoured sweetened aerated drinks, which are commonly available in soda shops at Jaipur, Rajasthan. Method: A total of 75 children belonging to the age group of 6-12 years of both sexes were studied for the changes in salivary pH after consumption of commonly available soft aerated drinks. The pH of saliva was recorded through a standard portable digital pH meter and the data were analyzed. Results: The observations show that the pH of the each sweetened aerated drinks used in this study was showing acidic pH ranging from 6-6.4. Among all the flavours, the drop in salivary pH was almost identical and was very highly significant after 5, 15 and 30 minutes of oral rinse. It was found that the fall in salivary pH was significantly related to the amount of sugar present in the drinks for the first 30 minutes. Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrate the need to educate the parents and professionals about the association between sugar contents in various sweetened beverages and dental caries.
Key-words: Soft drinks, Salivary pH, Dental erosion, Chromatography.
