Abstract: Dental enamelis a tissuethat experience a very high and susceptibleprocess ofmineralizationto acid attack. The composition ofdrinksthat contain lots ofacidwillaccelerate the damageto the tooth surface. Isotonic drink is one of several carbonated or noncarbonated products to improve fitness, which contains sugar, citric acid, and minerals. Isotonicdrinkshavea low pH that cancausedemineralization ofthe enamel surface and continuous demineralizationwill formporosity on the enamel surface and it can cause thedissolution ofmineralcalcium. This study aims to determine the solubility of calcium in teeth soaking in the isotonic drinks. This research was a laboratory experiment with control time series design. The samples used in this study were four post extraction permanent premolar teeth which are divided into treatment group and control group. Based on this study it can be concluded that the level of the teeth calcium dissolved in the immersion of isotonic drink is 0.005 ppm.

Abstrak:Email gigi merupakan suatu jaringan yang mengalami proses mineralisasi yang sangat tinggi dan rentan terhadap serangan asam. Komposisi minuman yang banyak mengandung asam akan mempercepat kerusakan pada permukaan gigi. Minuman isotonik merupakan salah satu dari beberapa produk minuman ringan karbonasi atau nonkarbonasi untuk meningkatkan kebugaran, yang mengandung gula, asam sitrat, dan mineral. Minuman isotonik mempunyai pH rendah yang dapat menyebabkan demineralisasi permukaan email gigi dan demineralisasi yang terus menerus akan membentuk porositas pada permukaan email gigi sehingga dapat menyebabkan larutnya mineral kalsium. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui besar kelarutan kalsium pada perendaman gigi dalam minuman isotonik. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen laboratoriumdengan desain penelitian control time series design. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak empat buah gigi premolar permanen post ekstraksi yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa kadar kalsium gigi yang terlarut pada perendaman minuman isotonik adalah sebesar 0,005 ppm.
