Abstract
Five new formulations of water ice lollies with a high-phosphorus (low Ca) supplementation ratio were tested for their erosiveness of dental enamel or hydroxylapatite in vitro. Compared with the basic unsupplem ented lolly, all five formulations that had been prepared with additio nal calcium and phosphorus, but in a low Ca/P ratio, as potential inhi bitors of demineralisation, were associated with significantly less at tack on dental mineral, as measured by the dissolution of calcium and phosphorus.
