ABSTRACT
Dental caries is a destructive process of dental hard tissue because of acid resulted from carbohydrate fermentation by microorganisms. The main carbohydrate that causing caries is sucrose, which is the largest concentration of carbohydrate in isotonic drinks.
The aim of this research is to obtain the effect of isotonic drinks to dental caries progression on Sprague dawley’s pit dan fissure molar.
The research is true experimental. Research was conducted in two months. Rats was divided into two groups pursuant to treatment. Group A was given isotonic drinks and group B was given aquadest as the control. The result of the research is anylized by U Mann-Whitney method.
Research shows that rats which had been given isotonic drinks have 21 superficial caries, 30 media caries and 26 profunda caries inflicted molars, whereas rats which had been given aquadest have 25 superficial caries, 27 media caries and 16 profunda caries inflicted molars.
The conclusion of this research is there is an effect of isotonic drinks to dental caries progression on white rat Sprague dawley’s pit and fissure molar. Isotonic drinks is capable of causing more media caries and profunda caries compare to aquadest.
Key words : Isotonic drinks, Dental caries
