Dental erosion is defined as a non-carious lesion having superficial tooth loss initiated by a chemical process either intrinsic or extrinsic, without involvement of bacteria. The incentive of this study was to assess and compare dental erosion associated with the intake of carbonated drinks among dental students; day scholars and hostel residents of the University College of dentistry, Lahore. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 183 dental students. Dental erosion was estimated using the index of Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE). Results: 31.6% hostel residents and 11.2% day scholars consumed carbonated drinks multiple times daily. Higher erosion index values were seen in hostel residents than day scholars. 48.6% was the prevalence of dental erosion among the study participants. Conclusion: Hostel residents consume more carbonated drinks than day scholars. Erosion of teeth by carbonated drinks is influenced by the frequency, quantity, type, carbonated drinks temperature and persons drinking habits.
