Aim of the study: This study seeks to evaluate the detrimental effects of acidic beverages on tooth structure and overall dental health, with a particular focus on comparing the extent of damage at a microscopic level. While it is widely understood that acidic drinks are harmful to teeth, the precise scale of the damage is often underestimated. By examining the degree of harm caused by prolonged exposure to acidic substances, this research aims to increase awareness of the cumulative effects that sugary and acidic beverages have on dental health and aesthetics over time. Materials and methods: The teeth used in this study were obtained from private practice, from patients diagnosed with Stage 3 or 4 periodontitis. These teeth were deemed unsuitable for prosthetic treatment due to excessive clinical attachment loss (CAL) or advanced tooth mobility (grade 2 or 3). Following extraction, the teeth were preserved in artificial saliva for a maximum of 20 days.The experiment involved a sample of 30 teeth, each of which was submerged in a different beverage for a duration of 24 hours The beverages used in this study were Sprite, lime juice, apple vinegar, and white wine. Following the 24-h
