Background and objective: Erosion is one of the major causes of degradation and demineralization of the enamel. In case the causes of demineralization are not inhibited, it progresses and completely degrades the enamel. So, the dentin is exposed and, finally, the pulp will be engaged in the process. Aim of present study was to evaluate erosive effects of acetaminophen and amoxicillin syrup on the enamel of deciduous molar Materials and methods: This in vitro experimental study was conducted on 60 sound human primary anterior teeth with no cracks or fractures. The surface microhardness (SMH) of each tooth was measured at baseline using a Vickers micro-hardness tester. Then the specimens were divided randomly into two groups of 30 and specimens in group A were exposed to acetaminophen syrup and in group B exposed to amoxicillin for 7 days, 3 times/ day for 1 min every time and secondary microhardness was recorded. Finally the data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The study data showed that both experimental syrups decreased micro-hardness of the samples significantly. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study acetaminophen and amoxicillin syrups decreased micro-hardness of primary teeth enamel.
