Abstract :
Dental caries is one ofthe unremitting chronic diseases worldwide. Most people are unaware of the hidden sugars, mainly sucrose in the liquid
pediatric medicines that can cause dental caries in children.
AIM: To investigatethetypeof sugar, the concentration of sucrose andtheeffectof threegroup of commonly used paediatric medicationantibiotics
(Augmentin duo, oflomac) – analgesics (p–250, crocin),cough syrup–(Zedex p, coscopin) in the South Indian population.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:90volunteers at age group 18–23 years were randomly selected and grouped into 6 to test the drop in
plaque pH on consumption of 6 commonly used liquid drugs and were refrained from ushing for 24 hrs. Digital pH meter was used
to assess the endogenous and drop in plaque pH.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:Mixed ANOVA and Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to determine changes in plaque pH.Significance
level was set at 0.05RESULT:Traces of sucrose was detected in the drugs and analgesic group differed from others for Ph.
CONCLUSION: Sweetened medications have a high risk of cariogenicity and should be prescribed with oral hygiene measures.
