The objectives of the present study were to assess the consumption of acidic beverages, knowledge and concern about preventing dental erosive wear, and to examine potential associations between these variables, in a sample of high school students.
A survey measuring acidic beverage consumption, knowledge and concern about erosive tooth wear was conducted at 13 high schools in Rogaland county, Norway.
Of the 850 students who completed the questionnaire, 26% reported that they drink acidic beverages every day. There were significant gender differences for the consumption of acidic drinks. The survey also demonstrated that a high proportion of students lacks basic knowledge of what erosive tooth wear is, and that this lack of knowledge is associated with a more frequent intake of acidic beverages. However, students who responded that they are concerned about preventing dental erosive wear reported that they drink soft drinks and energy drinks less frequently than students who are not concerned about this.
Results from this study support assumptions about a lack of knowledge about dental erosive wear in youth, and that this lack of knowledge is associated with a more frequent intake of acidic drinks.
本研究旨在评估高中生酸性饮料的消费情况、预防牙齿酸蚀磨损的知识和关注程度，并探讨这些变量之间的潜在关联。
在挪威罗加兰郡的 13 所高中进行了一项调查，测量了酸性饮料的消费、对酸蚀性牙齿磨损的认识和关注程度。
在完成问卷的 850 名学生中，26%的人报告他们每天都喝酸性饮料。在饮用酸性饮料方面存在显著的性别差异。调查还表明，相当一部分学生缺乏对酸蚀性牙齿磨损的基本知识，而这种缺乏知识与更频繁地摄入酸性饮料有关。然而，那些表示关注预防牙齿酸蚀磨损的学生报告说，他们比不关注这方面的学生喝软饮料和能量饮料的频率更低。
本研究的结果支持了关于年轻人对酸蚀性牙齿磨损缺乏认识的假设，而且这种缺乏知识与更频繁地摄入酸性饮料有关。
