Methods: In this study; cola, ayran, orange juice, strawberries yogurt were used as acidic food and beverage tooth enamel were used. Each 5 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness of material, the total 300 samples have been prepared The 600 samples have been prepared in 5 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness of material. After measuring the initial pH of the drinks used in the study, the samples were waited in those solutions for 10 seconds.
