Erosive Potential of Fruit Juices on Primary Teeth

Erosive Potential of Fruit Juices on Primary Teeth In Vitro evaluation of erosive potential of frozen and unfrozen fruit juices on primary teeth ABSTRACT: Dental erosion has gained importance now as a steadily growing public health problem world wide. Fruit juices are an important etiological factor, especially consumption in frozen forms, like fruit lollies and stick. Since this dietary habit is more prevalent among children, primary teeth were selected for this study. AIMS: To evaluate pH and titratable acidity of four fruit juices in frozen and unfrozen forms. Calcium dissolution and pattern of etching of enamel by these juices in frozen and unfrozen forms were also determined. DESIGN: pH of four different juices apple, orange, musumbi and grapes were determined using a digital pH meter. The titratable acidity of these in frozen and unfrozen forms were determined by adding 0.5 ml of 1N NaOH to these, till a pH=five and pH = seven were reached. Forty eight caries free deciduous anterior teeth specimens were prepared to study the etching pattern by scanning electron microscope [SEM] and calcium dissolution by atomic absorption spectrophotometer.STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA and pair wise multiple comparison with Bonferroni correction. RESULTS: Increase in titratable acidity, irregular pattern of etching and calcium dissolution were found to be significantly more in the initial thawed frozen fruit juices. Grape juice recorded the lowest pH and more titratable acidity when compared to other juices. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the detrimental effect on teeth by the frequent consumption of fruit juices and their frozen products. Th e study concluded that sucking on the frozen fruit juice products were more harmful than consuming in unfrozen state because more of erosion occurs in frozen state. Key words: Frozen fruit juices, pH, titratable acidity, erosion, etching, SEM. Introduction: â€Å"HEALTHY LIVING â€Å"the key to survival has been emphasized by health professionals upon the old and young alike. The â€Å"DIETARY FACTOR† is gaining much accolade and health drinks in the form of fruit juices have gained tremendous popularity in this category. Parents regard these as being healthy and nutritious and a good source of Vitamin C.[1]. Experiments conducted on the animals to evaluate the erosive potential of fruit juices showed that these juices were ten times more destructive to the teeth than the whole fruit.[2] Most fruit juices have a low pH and acids which can decalcify the teeth.[3] Hence, the frequent consumption of these fruit drinks is directly related to dental morbidity, especially erosio n.[4]Dental erosion has been defined as superficial loss of dental hard tissue by a chemical process not involving bacteria.[5] The aetiopathogenesis can be varied (intrinsic and extrinsic factors),most important are dietary acids.[6] A modern habit among consumers is to freeze and suck out fruit lolly and candies.Sucking on frozen fruit juices has a greater risk for erosion due to slow consumption and longer time required to neutralize it[7].Sucking of the melting juices from the frozen product is a pleasurable experience along with increase in the initial acidity and buffering capacity.[8]Hence the frequent use of these could produce damaging effects on the teeth. Primary teeth were included in this study,because children are frequently involved in the consumption of frozen fruit juices and deciduous teeth are more susceptible to erosion than permanent teeth due to less mineralisation and immature enamel surface[9] The study was performed to evaluate the pH of four fruit juices in a frozen and unfrozen form. The titratable acidity of these fruit juices to be checked. The total amount of calcium dissolved in fruit juices from the teeth and to study the pattern of etched enamel on teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Preparation of juices: Two and half litres of four different fresh fruit juices namely apple, orange, grape and musumbi each were prepared with no added sugars or preservatives. These were allowed to equilibrate to room temperature. Specimen preparation: Fourty eight freshly extracted caries free deciduous anterior teeth were collected and were used in the study. Extracted teeth were completely coated with nail polish with the exception of a window on the enamel of the labial surface of approximately 2mm X 2mm in diameter. Method: Two and half litres of apple juice were shaken for 15sec and this was divided into four samples of 600ml each. First sample (600ml) of this was taken and calcium concentration was assessed. From this, 100 ml was separated, pH and titratable acidity were determined.Then another 100 ml was taken and a prepared tooth specimen was dipped in it for two hrs.(For assessment of calcium etching pattern at room temp). Remaining 400ml was taken in a bottle, sealed and placed in a recorded (-200c) deep freezer for 24 hrs. The bottle was taken and allowed to defrost. From this, initial 100ml was taken, pH and titratable acidity were determined. Then another 100 ml was taken and a prepared tooth was dipped in it for two hrs( For assessment of calcium etching pattern immediately after defrosting). Remaining 200 ml was defrosted for two hours. Then 100 ml of this was taken and pH and titratable acidity were determined. Another 100 ml was taken and a prepared tooth was dipped in it for two hrs (For assessment of calcium etching pattern two hrs after defrosting). This was repeated for remaining three samples (600ml each) of apple juice. The same procedure was done for the other three juices musumbi, orange and grape juice and the values recorded [Table1,2,3] Determination of pH and titratable acidity: pH was determined by using a pH meter (digital pH meter model –EQ-612). After determining the pH, the juice was titrated against 1N( Na OH )Sodium hydroxide by adding 0.5ml of the same to the juice, mixed well and this were repeated until pH=five and pH=seven were reached to determine their titratable acidity. Assessment of calcium content: The teeth were carefully lifted out of the juices and the juices were centrifuged at 3500 rpm for five min. With the help of micropipette [superfit] 200ÃŽ ¼l of each of these samples of fruit juices were pipetted into the polypropylene tubes. Then 40ÃŽ ¼l distilled water were rinsed into the polypropylene tubes with the fruit juices. Then concentrated nitric acid (120ÃŽ ¼l) were added, the lid of the polypropylene tube sealed and the contents of the tube were wet washed, by leaving it at 600c for 12hrs. After cooling, 50ÃŽ ¼l of one mol/L KCl solution (an ionization suppressant) and 680ÃŽ ¼l of distilled water were added. Then samples were shaken and the calcium concentrations were determined by the use of a flame (nitrous oxide/acetylene) atomic absorption spectrophotometer. To obtain calcium content of the fruit juices (without teeth), 200 ÃŽ ¼l of the fruit juices were wet ashed and atomized exactly as mentioned above. Determination of etching pattern: The teeth specimens were prepared for SEM observation by dehydration followed by sputter coating of 20 nm of gold (JEOL,JFC 1100 E-JAPAN) and examined under a scanning electron microscope (JEOL,JSM-840A-JAPAN).Instant photomicrographs were made at X850,X1000 magnifications. Subsequently the X1000 magnification pictures were selected to compare the pattern of etched enamel surfaces. Statistical analysis: The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis by using One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA and Pair wise multiple comparison with Bonferroni correction RESULTS: RECORDED pH VALUES OF FOUR FRUIT JUICES (Table 1) Based on the results obtained in Table 1, the pH values of all the juices were less than 5.5, which is the critical pH, below which enamel dissolves. Grape juice recorded the lowest pH of 2.2 among the juices. TITRATABLE ACIDITY VALUES OF FOUR FRUIT JUICES (Table 2) For all the four fruit juices tested, the volume of 0.5 ml 1N NaOH needed to reach pH=five and pH= seven were more for immediate defrosted( initial thawed )juices than the juices at room temperature and that defrosted for two hrs. Hence, the immediate defrosted juices had more titratable acidity compared to the juices tested at other temperatures. Among the juices, grape juice had more titratable acidity. CALCIUM CONCENTRATION IN FOUR SAMPLES OF FRUIT JUICES MEASURED BY ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROPHOTOMETER ( Table 3) The amount of calcium dissolution in the juices from the teeth were found to be significantly more in the immediate defrosted juices than the room temperature juices and that defrosted for two hours. Evaluation of SEM Images : Representative SEM photomicrographs at magnification X1000. For teeth immersed in juices at room temperature, relatively smooth and slightly etched enamel surfaces were seen.[Figures 1- 4] Teeth dipped in juices immediately after defrosting, showed maximal erosion. Among these, apple showed eroded surface with enhanced porosity[figure5],a honeycomb enamel prism pattern noted in musumbi similar to that seen in acid etched enamel[figure 6].Teeth in orange and grapes showed more erosion resembling type II acid etching pattern [figures 7,8]. In case of teeth kept in juices two hrs after defrosting, the changes were similar to those seen at room temperature [figures 9-12]. DISCUSSION: The awareness of the population about health has lead to an increased consumption of natural food products, especially fruits and fruit juices. But fruit juices contain substantial acids(eg: citric acid in citrus fruits, malic acid in apples, tartaric acid in grapes)[10]which have the potential to cause loss of tooth tissue.[11][12] Various extrinsic and intrinsic factors contribute to dental erosion like diet, medicaments, occupation, sports, GERD, peptic ulcer, uremia etc.[13][14]But most significant among these are dietary acids .[3][4][15] Dental erosion due to dietary acids are influenced by a variety of factors like pH, titratable acidity, temperature, concentration, frequency, and exposure time[16].Many host factors also modify erosion, most important is saliva[17].Reduced salivary flow rate leads to inadequate oral clearance of dietary acids. Consumption of juices at night increases the erosive potential as salivary flow rate is diminished during this period. [18].Also different studies on salivary flow rate indicated that young children have lower flow rate, resulting in defective oral clearance. [19]. Intake of dietary acids decreases pH of the oral environment. Gregory-Head B et al[20] suggested that the pH of the oral cavity affected the solubility of the dental tissues. The critical pH at which the chemical dissolution of enamel occurs is accepted to be 5.5 ±0.3.[4][21]In this study, all the four fruit juices namely in the order of grape, orange, musumbi and apple showed a pH below five, thus enhancing the enamel dissolution capacity.[22] Titratable acidity which denotes the hydrogen ion availability has been acknowledged as a true indicator of erosive potential rather than pH value alone[23].Studies conducted by Touyz etal[8] have shown that fruit juices have a high intrinsic buffering capacity.Modifying the form in which the fruit drinks are taken (sweets or frozen lollies) is expected to increase erosion[24][25]. Sucking frozen fruit juices could be more erosive than unfrozen fruit juices because of increase in buffering capacity of initial thawed juice[8][26].. The acidity increases on freezing, as the physical state of the residual juice changes. When juice is frozen, water alone is solidified to ice without the solute. The solutes accumulates undiluted (concentrated). When juice is defrosted, the initial(concentrated) melt is more acidic with increased buffering capacity Thus sucking on these could cause a greater fall in oral pH and requires more buffering action to normalize the oral environment pH .As the remaining ice melts and dilutes the solution back to pre-freezed state, the buffering capacity diminishes.[8] The calcium dissolution potential of these fruit juices was analyzed. It was found to be more in the initial thawed fruit juices than juices tested at other temperatures. This is in accordance with the findings of M.Silove [8][26] who suggested that sucking frozen fruit juices can lead to more calcium dissolution than unfrozen juices. Also in our study, lowest calcium concentration was found in grape juice which is in accordance with studies stating that the erosive potential of drinks are associated with low calcium concentration[27] SEM was done to qualitatively estimate enamel surface alterations. Irregular and pitted enamel surface were observed in teeth exposed to frozen juices than at room temperature and after two hours of defrosting. Different etching patterns as described earlier were observed. [28-30] Similar studies were done on commercially available fruit juices and they are found to be 6-8 times more erosive than homemade juices. [31-33]The significance of this study was that, it was done in pure fruit juices, in frozen and unfrozen forms and multiple parameters were analyzed. The results showed that even pure fruit juices had erosive potential, especially in frozen forms. This study was done in vitro conditions, the results cannot be completely extrapolated to in vivo process, as interplay of various oral factors like salivary buffering capacity and flow rate to counteract erosion were not included in the study. [17] Recommendations: Although fruit juices are good for health, the frequency, method of drinking and the form in which they are consumed are important factors in dental erosion. Since children are frequently involved in the sucking of frozen fruit juice products, pediatric dentists should strongly discourage them from practicing this form of habit. Advise them to avoid fruit juices at bedtime and always rinse mouth with water after consumption of juices. Another point to consider is the use of additives which alter the pH and titratable acidity, thereby reducing the erosive potential of fruit juices. This requires further study. References: 1.

Bartolome de las Casas: The Devastation of the Indies

The Devastation of the Indies† and was a friar who became famous because he defended the rights of the Indians. He took a brave stand against the horrors and cruel blooded Spaniards, saying he didn't understanding of how God could allow the innocent Indians to suffer. In his document De lass Cases gave his views of the nature and character of the Indians, of the Spanish, and of the Spanish treatment of Indians. De Sis Cases say about the Indians that they don't have malice or bitterness, they are â€Å"humble, patient and peaceable.Physical they can't work hard because they are weak and get sick easily. They don't wont to possess worldly goods and they are not greedy . He says what they really want Is that they just want to learn and Just to learn about God and that they are eagerness and they have goodness† of nature. The Spaniards nature, according to De lass Cases, Is they don't have compassion for anybody they are cruel and blood thirsty people who treat much better horses and cows than a people, and also they are destroying an infinite number of souls and they are just doing it because they are greedy and want to became rich and to acquire De lass Cases views of theSpaniards treatment of Indians was that they type of people they call them as beast because is what they earn all buy their actions that they took, a Capitan order to struggle this Indian nobles just because they disturbed the Capitan sleep because they are screaming, and the person how order the Capitan to executioner did not obey the order that he give you, the Capitan decide to burn them slowly and watch them die.But Hatter comes from Cuba Just to say them that the Christians are coming he Just say this Just for those that are following him The Spanish Capitan he convert as an enemy of the human race, what he do Is that e put a dog as a security so they can escape or try something, the Indians make a mistake they kill some Christians so the Spanish Capitan he take this act us a r evenge so every Christian that they die there goanna kill o capture thousand Indians hatter comes from far away to Cuba to protect the Indians and to fight with them one of the Indians say is that they been struggle them and kill them off just because they don't want be part of them and follow there God hatter say that part of his followers are coming from Haiti ,then they go to see the god the Christians and what happen is hat there was a basket cover a bunch of Jewelry and gold and what they discovered is that if they despaired the gold there goanna forget everything and there goanna stop kill them off so they took the basket and they flung In the river.Then they captured hatter and they kill him Just because he defend those Indians from the cruel and blooding Christians so they tied him to the shake so a friar come to him and he say that he is going to hell just because he didn't be part of the Christian faith go to hell in still of going to heaven because a real God don't not pe rmit. The inclusion is that Bartholomew De lass cases was a man how fight for Justice because there were been cruel with the Indians because they refuse to believe in god so that why they want to kill them of . They couldn't defend them self and then later on the Capitan he made a rules if they kill one Christian there going to kill a thousand Indians so they capture a lot of Indians and they struggle them , with these infernal methods of tyranny they debase and weaken countless numbers of Indians , when Hatter hear about how there been treading the Indians he desire to stand for them ,but later on they capture him and they kill him.

Digital Media Purpose

Digital media purposes * ENTERTAINMENT AND LEISURE: This is the industry which makes the largest use of digital media. Films, television and radio use video, audio and animation to tell stories and entertain. Computer games also fall into this category. Computer games are masterpieces of multimedia, using all aspects to create immersive environments. This industry I think makes a lot of money billions in fact because it’s in everybody's interest, for example music concerts or watching the Olympic sports live. EDUCATION AND TRAINING: Digital media is a great tool for teaching this gives the student maybe even the teachers a better way of understanding a type of work set out to be a very hard task, digital media helps improve on your functional skills for example My maths is a great way of learning maths and it’s on the internet. Digital media also helps in training and it’s a great way to learn something if you are a beginner for example learning how to ride a bik e you could search the WWW, (World Wide Web).For example using media to teach different subject, another example would be in training a new worker in a work place. * MARKETING: When advertising the use of digital media increases. The main reason for this is because if you want to have a great effect on people trying to buy your item or property you are advertising you are going to need to put it on the net or at least take a picture to put it on showing billboards outside. An example of marketing would be billboards leaflets and information hand-outs for the public to see to buy whatever you are trying to sell. VIRTUAL REALITY (VR): Virtual reality would not have been made without the use of digital media it is basically a world of entertainment/games inside of a computer there are a variety of virtual reality games for example Runescape, fifa 13, call of duty. These are the man virtual reality games there are also thousands maybe millions more being played whilst you are reading th is slideshow. * PUBLISHING: Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of literature, music, or information — the activity of making information available to general public.In some cases, authors may be their own publishers, meaning: originators and developers of content also provide media to deliver and display the content for the same. Publishing includes the stages of the development, acquisition, copyediting, graphic design, production – printing (and its electronic equivalents), and marketing and distribution of newspapers, magazines, books, literary works, musical works, software and other works dealing with information, including the electronic media. COSTUMER SERVICE: Customer service is the provision of service to customers before, during and after a purchase. According to Turban et al. (2002), â€Å"Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation. † Customer support is a range of customer services to assist customers in making cost effective and correct use of a product. It includes assistance in planning, installation, training, trouble shooting, maintenance, upgrading, and disposal of a product.

A Jury Of Her Peers A Character free essay sample

A Jury Of Her Peers: A Character Analysis Essay, Research Paper As in the instance of most, if non all, good allegorical narratives, the primary impact of the narrative is strongly influenced by the writer? s elaborate word picture of the scene, every bit good as the characters? feelings and passions. Surely such is the instance in Susan Glaspell? s narrative? A Jury of Her Peers? . Here we see a profusion of word picture and scene that is elusive at first reading, but becomes clearer as the narrative evolves. In the concluding analysis, it becomes clear merely who the jury is and the result of their corporate finding of fact. It is by the usage of allegorical and metaphorical rhetoric that the tenseness of the narrative is maintained so really good. Initially we are introduced to a adult female, Mrs. Hale, who foremost seems dramatis personae as a cardinal character, if non the cardinal focal point of the narrative? s secret plan. We will write a custom essay sample on A Jury Of Her Peers A Character or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page By usage of this literary recreation, the reader is deliberately mislead by concentrating on the inside informations of the forms of her life and her overall guiding idea processes. For illustration, in Paragraph 1, we are shown the construct of Mrs. Hale? s built-in inherent aptitude for? spruceness? , ? her staff of life all ready for blending, half the flour sifted and half unsifted? . Although this appears as a apparently innocuous item, it subsequently becomes a cardinal point as the secret plan develops, in that this trait seems to be straight opposite the nature of the accused. Mrs. Hale is shown to be a individual of spruceness and item ; no occupation is to be left unfinished, and high importance is attached to maintaining a? proper? family. She is shown to be a strong adult female, a adult female of rule, who is concerned, if non outright ashamed, of her failure to be a good neighbour. In direct comparing to Mrs. Hale, we meet her fellow plotter, Mrs. Peters, the married w oman of the sheriff. It is interesting to observe that while the writer makes it clear that Mrs. Hale is good suited for her function in life, that of a husbandman? s married woman, Mrs. Peters seems to be ill at easiness being the married woman of a law officer. She ab initio seems to miss the really force of character that is required of person of authorization, yet we understand as the secret plan is developed that she is alternatively a adult female of every bit strong strong beliefs and character, and a individual who can and will, in the concluding analysis, rise to the juncture. Finally, we are introduced to the character around which the narrative is centered, the accurst murderess, Mrs. Wright. She is depicted to be a individual of great life and verve in her younger old ages, yet her life as Mrs. Wright is portrayed as one of inexorable sameness, keeping a humourless day-to-day swot, devoid of life as we regard it in a normal societal sense. Although it is clear to the rea der that Mrs. Wright is so the perpetrator, she is portrayed sympathetically because of that really deficiency of normality in her day-to-day modus operandi. Where she was one time a miss of merriment and laughter, it is clear that over the old ages she has been forced into a recluse shell by a matrimony to a adult male who has been singularly oppressive. It is every bit clear that she eventually was brought to her personal breakage point, covering with her state of affairs in a mode that was at one time concluding and yet inconclusive, depending on the result of the legal probe. It is noteworthy that regardless of the result, Mrs. Wright had eventually realized a province of peace within herself, a province which had been denied her for the continuance of her relationship with the deceased. For intents of character and secret plan development, the work forces in the narrative are otiose for the most portion. Their major part to the narrative is their good-natured disdain of adult f emales in general, and a adult female? s ability for understanding. In this instance, this ignorance on their portion is a fatal defect that is at the same clip a familiar 1. As worlds, we all are egoistic by nature, and it is merely through witting attempt and will make worlds go able to to the full see and appreciate those elusive niceties that form the complete human mind. We besides note that the work forces? s? attack to the probe is based on their experience with other work forces for the most portion. The nuance of the female head escapes their attending wholly ; in fact, it is a topic of derision. This is in direct resistance to the? probe? conducted by the adult females. Although they themselves are merely mistily familiar with the accused, they are al so really familiar with, and sympathetic of, the predicament of her day-to-day modus operandi. The scene set by the writer ; the broken range, the threadbare apparels, the soiled pots ; all contribute to making a sense of empathy on the portion of the reader for Mrs. Wright. We know the facts of the instance as presented in the narrative. Mr. Wright, of all time the dour one, with small to no grasp for the beauty of life, imposed his overbearing will upon his married woman one clip excessively many. By taking from her the lone thing in life that she genuinely cherished, he in consequence destroyed all that was left inside her that was good, pure and still comparatively stainless. By his wanton violent death of her bird, he committed the unpardonable wickedness ; he crossed the line formed by her interior feelings by taking from her the last trace of all that she of all time held close and beloved to her bosom. It is every bit clear to the reader that the act of slaying was one which was non a affair of impulse so much as it was a deliberate act based on old ages of mental and matrimonial maltreatment. Although the existent violent death was in all likeliness non premeditated, the idea form taking up to the existent act had been long in formation. That Mrs. Wright had been abused to the point of despair was eventually and clearly understood by the two adult females who were the? equals? organizing Mrs. Wright? s? jury? . The stating inside informations centre on the unfinished undertaking of seting the sugar off, and in the untidy stitching of a little piece of the unfinished comforter. We can easy visualise what occurred: Mr. Wright, after taking from his married woman the lone thing she genuinely still cared for, caused her to go overwrought to the point of entire distraction and rage. This is evidenced by the fact that, although the bulk of the sewing was really precise, that one piece was a entire muss. It is non an accident that this really piece of sewing covered the concluding resting topographic point of the bird. It is besides really noteworthy that the dead bird rested in a beautiful box that evidently was one of the last things Mrs. Wright considered of value in her life. The correlativity between the bird and the box is really strong ; both represented the loss of all that she of all time held close and beloved to her bosom. The loss of them virtually at the same time became the last straw for Mrs. Wright. We can conceive of her province of head as she sat in daze after witnessing the devastation of all that she had left in her life to love and keep beloved. The fact that she put the bird in the box, that last leftover of happier times, increases the poignancy experienced by the cardinal characters every bit good as the reader. The ocular mirror drawn by the writer between the vocalizing of the bird and that of the immature Mrs. Wright strongly suggests the affinity between her and the vocalizing of the bird. It wasn? t the bir d so much that kept her sane, every bit much as what it represented to her of her lost young person and former life. When the bird was needlessly killed, it was as if in making so, Mr. Wright symbolically? murdered? the last trace of his married woman? s? artlessness and young person which was the lone component still prolonging her in her inexorable being. In taking from her all that she genuinely loved, it was as if her hubby physically destroyed the cardinal nucleus component of his ain married woman. This intervention she could no long tolerate. In her defence, the other adult females understood all excessively clearly what had driven her to perpetrate the title. The concluding sarcasm of the narrative is the mode of despatch ; Mr. Wright was murdered in a mode that was wholly consistent with his married woman? s sense of justness. The fact that he besides was choked until dead reflects wondrous the justness required for his wringing of the bird? s cervix. Note that although the re was a gun in the house it was non used. Merely by taking his life in the mode that he lived was justness to the full and wholly served. This is a fantastic narrative that stands on its ain virtue. It is an even greater narrative when considered in visible radiation of the symbolic and allegorical elements contained in this. The writer? s consummate usage of apparently elusive and unrelated elements is woven into a complex tapestry that illustrates to the full the complexness that is the human status. One can merely trust that the? jury? s? concluding finding of fact was a adhering one. Bibliography Original Work.
