Abstract: Objective:To evaluate the erosive potential of orange juice modified by calcium. Methods:45 permanent teeth were randomly divided into there groups, and were immersed in orange juice, orange juice modified by calcium(0.4g/l, calcium lactate pentahydrate), and deionized water respectively for 25 hours. A laser fluorescence system was used to make a quantitative record. Results:The experiment showed that the group of orange juice and orange juice modified by calcium showed significant higher laser fluorescence value than the group of deionized water (P<0.05). Orange juice modified by calcium showed significant lower laser fluorescence value than orange juice group (P<0.05). Conclusions:Calcium ion could significantly reduce the erosion potential of orange juice.
