The consumption of energy drinks has increased in recent years, potentially leading to dental erosion. The study aimed to determine the relationship between energy drink consumption and the presence of dental erosion in users of a local gym. Methodology: This was an observational, cross-sectional, and prospective study with a relational level of analysis. The sample consisted of 60 users of the V2 Fitness Club gym in March 2019. Participants were examined through interviews and clinical examinations, collecting data such as sex and age, characteristics of energy drink consumption, and dental erosion using the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) form. Results: No relationship was found between the frequency of energy drink consumption and the presence of dental erosion (p>0.15). It was observed that 100% of participants consumed energy drinks, with 86% consuming one drink daily and 33.3% reporting a consumption duration of 6 to 11 months. Additionally, 100% exhibited dental erosion: 81.2% showed initial surface loss (Grade 1), and 18.8% showed less than 50% surface loss (Grade 2). Among those aged 22 to 33 years, 100% had initial surface loss. Conclusion: Despite the presence of dental erosion, further studies are necessary to establish its association with energy drink consumption.
