Significant surface roughness was induced by specific pediatric syrups, indicating potential enamel texture changes.
Dextromethorphan showed significant mineral loss changes on primary enamel, while no loss was noted by profilometry.
Assessment used quantitative light-induced fluorescence, profilometry, and scanning electron microscopy to evaluate enamel effects.
Findings point to the importance of preventive care for frequent syrup users, despite limited enamel demineralization observed.
