- <p><span lang="EN-US">Energy drinks have become increasingly popular among young individuals due to their stimulating effects and energy-boosting properties. However, their high acidity and sugar content raise concerns regarding dental health, particularly the erosion and demineralization of hard dental tissues. This study aims to analyze the chemical, morphological, and clinical effects of energy drink consumption on enamel and dentin. Using a combination of pH measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and clinical assessments, the study investigated enamel surface alterations and mineral loss. The results revealed significant decreases in surface microhardness and visible morphological damage to the enamel, especially after prolonged exposure. Clinically, patients with frequent energy drink consumption demonstrated a higher prevalence of dental erosion and sensitivity. The findings suggest that energy drinks, due to their acidic pH (often below 3.5) and presence of citric acid, significantly compromise the integrity of dental hard tissues. Preventive strategies, including consumer education, limiting consumption frequency, and using remineralizing products, are essential to mitigate the detrimental effects.</span></p>
