Onset and progression of dental erosion in a mouse model.

Objective: Purpose of this research was to examine the onset, progression and wear rates of dental erosion in an established mouse model.

Material And Methods: Dental erosion in mice was experimentally induced, and the acidic effects of cola drink on their teeth after 2, 4 and 6-weeks were closely analysed by scanning electron microscopy. The tooth height and enamel or dentin loss were established.
