Citrus fruits and juices are an integral part of daily diets the world over; however, excessive and frequent consumption can cause damage to the human dentition. This article describes the characteristics of destruction induced by citrus products. Related factors include the fruits' acidic nature, their inherent highly fibrous content, the method of intake, and the sites of the dentition exposed for prolonged durations. The various features of the defects resulting from the combined chemical and/or mechanical destructive potential of citrus products are demonstrated in relation to intake method. Mitigating and aggravating factors that affect the erosive process are discussed also.
