The aim of the present study was to assess the dietary habits and oral hygiene practice of dental students in a new dental school. A self-administered structured closed-ended questionnaire on demographic characteristics, medical history, oral hygiene and dietary habits was distributed to dental students. Results showed that One third of students indicated that they don't consume low pH beverages (soft drinks) at all, while 48.9% drink a soft drink or two a day. Students took varying amount of time to consume their drinks. The majority of participants consumed citric juices, fruits and/or pickles at least once a day. 91.3% of students use either soft (41.8%) or medium (49.5%) toothbrush. Only a fifth (16.9%) of the students brush their teeth after drinking soft drinks and 58.2% brush their teeth after vomiting. In conclusion, young adults need to be aware about their dietary habits & oral hygiene, and also a proper dental health program needs to be applied.

“…This randomized controlled crossover clinical trial was designed to move a step forward towards the understanding of the salivary pH kinetics after the consumption of sour candies, whose erosive potential have been demonstrated in an observational survey [18,19] and in laboratory experimental investigations [17,20].…”

“…Second, the findings of an in vitro study have suggested that saliva may offer reduced protection to enamel against the erosive effects of sour candies [17]. Third, sour candies have been significantly associated with dental erosion in children [18] and adolescents [19] in a frequency-dependent manner. In the former quoted survey, children who consumed sour candies more than twice daily, once daily and 2-4 times per week presented, respectively, nearly 24, 18 and 8 times higher risk of having dental erosion compared with those who did not eat sour candies at all.…”

Objective: This randomized controlled crossover clinical trial monitored the kinetics of salivary pH over time following the consumption of sour gummy candy. Material and Methods: Twenty participants underwent saliva assessment for flow, pH and buffer capacity. Following a two-arm crossover layout, the participants chewed a piece of a sour and a piece of an ordinary (control) gummy candy for 20 seconds. Participants expectorated saliva at 18 time points: immediately after ingesting the candies; then after every 15 second interval, for up to 1 minute; 30 seconds up to 4 minutes; 60 seconds up to 10 minutes; and at 15 minutes. The pH of the collected samples was measured with a pH microelectrode. The data concerning the pH measurements of the whole saliva samples collected over time following chewing of sour and ordinary gummy candies underwent repeated-measures three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using a significance level of 5%. Results: Repeated-measures three-way analysis of variance demonstrated a significant interaction between the type of candy and time (p<0.001). Tukey's test revealed that with the consumption of sour gummy candy, the salivary pH showed an initial marked exponential drop and remained lower than that observed with the consumption of the ordinary version for up to 120 seconds. Conclusion: The consumption of sour gummy candy induces a major, transient fall in salivary pH, which may represent a risk factor for dental erosion.

Introduction: In contrast to the well-established caries epidemiology, data on dentin hypersensitivity seems to be contradictory. This study evaluates and assesses the prevalence, distribution and potential changes in case of dentin hypersensitivity. Dentin hypersensitivity is described as a short, sharp pain, arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli -thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic or chemical. The pain generally disappears when the stimulus is removed. Sensitivity may be associated with tooth bleaching procedures, exposed dentinal tubules as a result of gingival recession, erosion, subsequent loss of cementum on root surface, abfraction in combination with vigorous tooth brushing. In spite of various treatment approaches such as careful brushing instructions, desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride application, or dentin bonding agents, there is no appropriate scientific information about prevention and treatment. Purpose: Investigation of the epidemiology of dentin hypersensitivity. Materials and methods: Dental students in Medical university of Varna and their patients, and patients from a Private dental practice in Dobrich fill two questionnaires concerning symptoms of dentin hypersensitivity and assessing the incidence of this problem. Conclusion: Dentin hypersensitivity is a clinically relevant problem. It affects the quality of life of patients and therefore it should be properly addressed in research, dental education, prevention and treatment.
