Evaluation of the impact of acidic medications and fluoride-containing mouthwash on the enamel surface using quantitative light-induced fluorescence, microhardness, and scanning electron microscopy: an in vitro study
This study demonstrated the erosive potential of vitamin C tablets on enamel surfaces. Furthermore, the use of acidic fluoride mouthwash immediately after exposure to acidic medication exacerbates enamel demineralization.
