Introduction: The high intake of sugars, acids and processed cereal grains, caused the rates of dental caries and erosion to increase their numbers. Bullets, due to the time they take to be completely dissolved in the mouth, can influence the appearance of caries. Furthermore, some bullets also have an erosive potential in their formulations. Objective: This article aims to evaluate the erosive and cariogenic action of Halls candies, in strawberry, mint and extra strong flavors in artificial saliva. Methodology: Halls® candies in strawberry, mint and extra strong flavors dissolved in artificial saliva were used. The samples were submitted to pH tests, titratable acidity and determination of reducing sugars. All experiments were performed in triplicate for all analyzed flavors. The results were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey test was used as a post-test. A significance level of 5% (p <0.05) was considered for all analyses. Results: In the pH analysis, extra strong flavor had the highest average, being significantly higher when compared to other flavors. Likewise, the determination of reducing sugars showed that the extra strong flavor has a significantly higher amount of sucrose when compared to strawberry. In the analysis of titratable acidity, the strawberry flavor showed statistically higher means when compared to the mint and extra strong flavor. Conclusion: All analyzed Halls® candies, when diluted in artificial saliva, can present erosive potential and cariogenic action regardless of flavor.
