Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It was observed that the children had no fruit groups in their diet. Before recommending fruit juices in their diet the salivary parameters Calcium, Phosphorus, Bicarbonate content and pH of the saliva were selected to evaluate the suggested erosive potentialTimepoint: The estimation was done at baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The children were given fruit juices once daily for 2 weeks. The post salivary samples of the subjects at 7th ,15th and 30th day were taken from subjects. The variations in the selected salivary parameters were observed.Timepoint: The estimation was done at 7th,15th and 30th day of the study.
