Dental caries and erosion potential of beverages on sale in Indonesia
Rosa Amalia1, Heni Susilowati2, Rini Maya Puspita3.
Introduction: The aim of this research was to test the potential capacity for beverages sold in Indonesia to cause caries and dental erosion by measuring sugar content, pH level and titratable acidity (TA). Methods: A total of 124 beverages, classified as teas, energy drinks, sports drinks, fruit juices, milk drinks, carbonated drinks and coffees, were tested. Sugar content (g·100 mL-1) was gathered from the nutrition information on the product packaging. The pH was determined using a pH meter. Titratable acidity was measured by adding 0.5 mL increments of NaOH 0.1 N into 10 mL of each tested beverage to bring the pH to neutral. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s T3 post hoc multiple comparisons at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Energy drinks contained the highest amounts of sugar (11.9 ± 3.4 g·100 mL-1), and sports drinks the lowest (5.3 ± 2.1 g·100 mL-1). Milk drinks had the highest pH (6.4 ± 0.2), whereas carbonated drinks had the lowest (2.2 ± 0.6). The results of acid titration indi- cated that the highest acid concentration was present in energy drinks (4.1 ± 1.5 mL) and the lowest was in teas (0.5
± 0.4 mL). The results of ANOVA testing showed significant differences between variants in terms of sugar content, pH and titratable acidity (p<0.001). Conclusion: Energy drinks and carbonated drinks had the highest cariogenicity and erosive potential for dental health. However, all the beverages tested had cariogenic or erosive potential or both.
