    Objective: The objective of this research was to determine the erosive potential of the most common liquids in a school lunchbox among children aged 3 to 6 years from I.E.P. “Mi Lucero,” Chorrillos district, through variations in salivary pH. Materials and Methods: This was an experimental, comparative, and longitudinal study. A total of 103 children aged 3 to 6 years with deciduous dentition, with and without dental caries, and with adequate OHI, were evaluated. Prior to the examination, teeth were brushed using the modified Stillman technique, and after one hour, baseline salivary pH was measured with a digital pH meter. Following the ingestion of liquids (Coca Cola, orange Frugos, and lemonade), salivary pH was measured at 5, 40, and 60 minutes. The data were analyzed using Student’s t-test with a significance level of p<0.05, revealing the greatest salivary pH drop at 5 minutes post-ingestion, particularly after drinking Coca Cola (pH 6.3). Recovery and stabilization were observed more rapidly with lemonade (pH 7) and orange Frugos (pH 7) at 40 minutes compared to the initial pH.
