not only acid that can erode dental hard tissue structure. A study in Sweden found that the substance with a high PH levels, aka bitter was also may damage the teeth.
Research carried out by the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg shows a strong alkaline substance can destroy the organic materials contained in dental hard tissue that makes the structure become weaker.
In this study, teeth that have been revoked are given exposure to alkaline solution and tooth enamel samples examined using electron microscope and analyzed using various spectroscopic methods.
It was found that the organic material contained on the surface of teeth dissolves rapidly, the surface becomes more berporus email. Damage such as this marks the increased risk of caries or damage to the structure of dental hard tissue.
Tooth decay caused an alkaline substance may be not as common as that caused by acid substances. Usually dental exposure to highly alkaline substance that can happen in other industries or workplaces that use materials in which its employees negligent or without adequate protective equipment.
