INTRODUCTION: Dental caries is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases worldwide. 1 It is initiated by the consumption of fermentable carbohydrates which are converted into organic acids by bacteria in dental plaque. These acids cause a fall in the salivary pH and result in demineralization by the loss of calcium and phosphate ions from the subsurface of enamel. 2 Prevalence of dental caries was seen to be 61% in children between 6 – 12 years 3 and those consuming sugar substances were
