The etiology of dental erosion is directly linked to the ingestion of industrialized foods and beverages such as juices, nectar, refreshments with a prominent growth in the sports suppresso rs segment as it is one of the most consumed nutritional ergogenics. The acid content of these products are considered extrinsic factors of this alteration with progressive loss of dental
material, with reduction of important minerals in their constitution according to the frequency of ingestion. Dinate. This study aimed to evaluate on an experimental scale "in vitro" the main factors related to the composition of energy drinks relating the implications to public health induced by the excessive consumption of potentially erosive beverages. The methodological bases used followed the internationally accepted standards for the analysis of hydrogenation potential, total titratable acidity, total soluble solids and reducing sugars. The results obtained show a product line with a high acidity average of 2.5 in Hydrogenion Potential, with low content of citric acid, reduced soluble solids and reducing sugars. These data are inferred when the increase in the segment of sports supplements on the market is evaluated in parallel to a successive worsening of the etiology of the oral cavity. Which directly affects the nutritional action. Quantitative data are alarming because the consequent changes in dental structure have in the future affected the intake of important foods to maintain health, possibly causing inadequate intakes of the micronutrient components of the regulatory system. Based on these data, we conclude that there is a need for joint Inter professional action, with nutritionists, dentists and enforcement agencies in the continuous observance of food composition, especially industrialized beverages due to their action on the emergence of demineralization and erosion of the dental enamel, and the consequent reduction of the contribution in the consumption of regulatory nutrients essential to good nutrition.
