Quantification of sugar intake and mineralization of teeth in 13–15-year-old subjects – A pilot study

Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2022
Background: Dental caries begins with the initiation of demineralization which is a reversible process. Diet, especially intake of sugar, is an important aetiological factor for demineralization of enamel which eventually leads to caries. Aim: This study
