Influence of carbonated substances consumed by adolescents and children on the degradation of resinous sealants: in vitro study
Main Article Content
Abstract
For the prevention of caries dental, pit and fissure sealants based on fluid resins are used. Currently, there is a high prevalence of carbonated beverage consumption among children and adolescents, which has consequences for dental tissues and restorative materials. The objective was to determine the influence of contact with common carbonated beverages in the Ecuadorian child and adolescent population on resinous sealants in relation to their roughness, color and weight. An experimental in vitro study was conducted. 18 resinous sealant discs constructed from fluid viscosity composite resin were used and divided into three groups of 6 blocks each. The control group was kept in contact with saline solution and two experimental groups were subjected to two types of carbonated beverages for different periods of time, to evaluate the influence of the latter on the degradation of the resinous material considering their roughness, color and weight of these resinous sealants. The results obtained showed significant changes in the color of the resin discs used in both the black glue group (p = 0.014) and the clear glue group (p = 0.014), and among the three groups (p = 0.000), but not in the weight and roughness variables. Carbonated beverages have the potential to damage the integrity of restorative materials due to their highly acidic composition, which may compromise efforts to prevent dental caries through the application of pit and fissure sealants.
