MODERN CONCEPTS OF FOOD LIQUID EFFECTS ON DENTAL-JAW SYSTEM (REVIEW)

Analysis of the literature data evidenced that in recent decades, increased consumption of SSD and energy drinks has raised concerns among professionals, as it contributes to an increase in total calorie intake, leading to overweight and obesity in the young population, as well as damage to tooth tissues due to the exposure of highly cariogenic/erosive ingredients of these drinks. According to many authors there are a number of factors conditioning the influence of energy drinks on oral health or the risk of overweight and obesity including the duration, amount and frequency of consumption. Currently, these factors still remain practically unexplored. In addition, it is evident that intensive preventive measures are required to prevent development of tooth decay, including limiting the consumption of sweets and sugar sweetened drinks, as well as regular dental care with fluoride-containing toothpastes and a balanced diet.
