Purpose of Review

Dental erosion (DE) is an irreversible, non-bacterial loss of tooth structure caused by acids from external or internal sources. This systematic review aims to determine the association between sports drink consumption and DE, considering their increasing popularity and potential adverse effects on dental health.

Recent Findings

A systematic review of five cross-sectional studies revealed varied findings. While three studies found no significant association between sports drinks and DE, one study demonstrated a dose–response relationship, and another showed that swimmers consuming energy sports drinks had over twice the risk of DE compared to non-swimmers. Additionally, factors such as having gastroesophageal reflux disease were associated with DE.

Summary

This review highlights the challenges in establishing a definitive relationship between sports drink consumption and DE due to the diversity in study populations and methodologies. Swimmers were identified as a high-risk group for DE. Future research should employ standardised indices and longitudinal study designs to better understand the long-term impacts of sports drinks on dental health.
