Degrees of saturation with respect to apatites in fruit juices and acidic drinks
Scandinavian Journal of Dental Research
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
Some fruit juices and carbonated acidic drinks, recognized as agents causing dental erosions, were analyzed for calcium, phosphate, fluoride and pH. Ionic activity/concentration products for hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite were calculated. It was found that all liquids analyzed were unsaturated with respect to both apatites, which explains their erosive effect.
