The lack of current network dynamics studies that evaluate the effects of new application and protocol deployment or long-term studies that observe the effect of incremental changes on the Internet, and the change in the overall stability of the Internet under various conditions and threats has made network monitoring challenging. A good understanding of the nature and type of network traffic is the key to solving congestion problems. In this paper we describe the architecture and implementation of a scalable network traffic moni-toring and analysis system. The gigabit interface on the monitoring system was configured to capture net-work traffic and the Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) and Webalizer produces graphical and detailed traffic analysis. This system is in use at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria; we describe how this system can be replicated in another environment.

Seasonal rainfall variability in Guinea Savannah part of Nigeria: A GIS Approach - A. Ayanlade (International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, 2009)
Purpose – This paper aims to use geographical information systems kriging interpolation technique to examine and map the spatiotemporal variation in rainfall in Guinea Savanna of Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach – Rainfall data, for the periods between 1970 and 2000, are collected from the archives of the Nigerian Meteorological Services, Oshodi Lagos. In this paper, rainfall is considered as the primary and input for crop yield. It is observed that the most important climatic element is rainfall; particularly inter‐annual variation and the spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall. Three spatial interpolation methods are chosen for this research work: inverse distance weighting method and the spline (completely regularized) as the determinist methods; and ordinary kriging as the stochastic methods. In order to analyze the interpolation quality, an evaluation by cross validation has been carried out. Ordinary kriging method was discovered suitable for this paper because it allows the sharpest interpolation rainfall data and is the most representative. Findings – The results of the analysis show that rainfall varies both in time and space. Rainfall variability is very high in most of Northern Guinea Savanna (e.g. Yola, Minna, and Ilorin) with values of coefficient of variation (CV) between 26 and 49 percent while in Southern Guinea Savanna, the CV is very low especially, in Enugu (9 percent), and Shaki (8 percent). These anomalies (such as decline in annual rainfall, change in the peak and retreat of rainfall and false start of rainfall) are detrimental to crop germination and yield, resulting in little or no harvest at the end of the season. Originality/value – The paper concludes that geospatial techniques are powerful tools that should be explored further for realistic analysis of the effects of seasonal variability in rainfall.

Incidence of multiple antibiotic resistant Gram-negative bacteria isolated from surface and underground water sources in south western region of Nigeria - Odeyemi, AT; Dada, AC; Oluyege, J. O. (Water Sci Technol, 2009)
In most rural and urban settlements, particularly in Nigeria, wells, spring, streams or rivers and lakes serves as major sources of water supply for drinking and other domestic purposes. Unfortunately, many of the available water sources are not potable without some form of treatment which is seldom available in most settings. The use of untreated surface water sources for drinking and for domestic purposes remains a major threat to public health as these could serve as reservoirs the for transfer of antibiotic resistant pathogens. The incidence of resistant bacteria isolated from surface and underground water in six rural settlements in Ekiti State Nigeria was thus investigated. Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from wells, streams and boreholes in six rural settlements in Ekiti State Nigeria between January and April, 2006 and the prevalence of organisms exhibiting multiple antibiotic resistance to tetracycline, amoxicillin, cotrimoxazole, nitofurantoin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid and ofloxacin was observed. Gram-negative bacterial isolates comprised Escherichia coli (22.7%), Enterobacter aerogenes (2.5%), Salmonella spp. (13.3%), Shigella spp. (19.3%), Proteus spp. (18.5%), Klebsiella spp. (19.3%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4.2%). Over 10% of the bacteria were resistant to four or more antibiotic. Antibiotic resistance was highest in members of the genera Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and Proteus. Given the prevalence of appalling sanitary facilities and inappropriate public antibiotic use, the possibility of antibiotic resistance selection, faecal dissemination and subsequent contamination of local water sources available for rural residents of the developing world is highlighted. The implication for clinical practice of infections caused by antibiotic resistant strains especially among immunodeficient individuals is also discussed.

Self-Perceived And Unmet General Health Need Among Plwha In Nigeria - Adedigba, Michael; Ogunbodede, Eyitope; O Jeboda, S; Naidoo, S (East African journal of public health, 2008)
This study set out to determine the self-reported unmet health needs of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in a Nigerian population.A prospective study conducted among consecutive 209 consenting PLWHA in the South-western Nigeria; who sought for care in the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals complex, Ile-Ife and General Hospital, Ilesa were recruited. Participants completed a comprehensive survey seeking information to determine their unmet needs in the following areas: Medication, Dental, Mental, Home care, Hospital admission, access to antiretroviral therapy and emergency services. One or more unmet needs were reported by 79.4% of the sample. Needs for medication, home-based care and mental care were more likely to be unmet. There was a statistically significant relationship between unmet needs and living arrangements (p < 0.05). Perceived oral health status was the factor that best predicted the unmet need. Perceived oral health status of these patients should be improved to reduce the level of the unmet needs.

Demographic variations in the coping ability of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria: implications for counseling - Adedigba, Michael; Ojo, OO; Ogunbodede, Eyitope; Naidoo, S (Nigerian Dental Journal, 2008)
Objective: To determine the coping ability of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) across demographic variations of gender, duration of living with HIV infection, marital status and living arrangements either with the family or alone.Method: The research design adopted in this study was descriptive survey. The population consisted of all PLWHA in Nigeria. The sample comprised of 117 PLWHA attending clinic regularly at General Hospital Ilesa, Osun State, Nigeria. The subjects had all been exposed to voluntary counselling and testing (VCT). Only those who consented participated in the study. A structured questionnaire developed for the purpose of this research was used to collect data. Result: Marital status, living arrangements and gender do not significantly influence coping ability of the PLWHAs (p>0.05); however duration of living with the infection had significant influence on the coping ability of PLWHAs (p<0.05). Conclusion: The length of period of living with HIV/AIDS had a significant effect on the coping abilities of PLWHA (p< 0.05). The results also showed no significant difference in the coping ability of PLWHA by gender, marital status and living arrangements (p=0.05). Developing adaptive coping skills to deal with stress of living with HIV/AIDS may be a particularly effective strategy for improving overall health among the study population and not just on the medical needs.

Dental Care Utilization and Satisfaction of Residential University Students - Bamise, Cornelius Tokunbo; Bada, T. A.; Bamise, Fo; Ogunbodede, Eyitope (The Libyan journal of medicine, 2008)
The objective of this study was to provide information on the level of utilization and satisfaction of residential university students with the dental services provided by the dental clinic of a teaching hospital. VOLUNTEERS AND MATERIAL: A stratified sampling technique was used to recruit volunteers from the outpatient clinic of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Information was collected by a self-administered questionnaire composed of questions that measure the level of utilization and satisfaction with the dental services provided. Questionnaires were provided to 650 randomly chosen students residing in the University hostels. There were 39 refusals, and 6 incomplete questionnaires were discarded. This left a sample size of 605 volunteers.Forty seven students (7.8%) indicated that they visited the dental hospital within the last 12 months. Males and females utilized the dental services equally, and utilization increased with age and the number of years spent on campus. Anticipation of painful dental treatment, high dental charges, long waiting times and being too busy for a dental visit were cited as the most important impediments to seeking dental treatment. Females expressed greater satisfaction with the services. Dental service utilization among the students was found to be low. Oral health awareness campaigns, improving the quality of the services, and shortening the waiting time are expected to increase service utilization and satisfaction.

Patterns of oral manifestation of HIV/AIDS among 225 Nigerian patients - Adedigba, Michael; Ogunbodede, Eyitope; O Jeboda, S; Naidoo, S (Oral diseases, 2008)
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of the oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS and to correlate the prevalence of these lesions with the stages of the disease in the Ife-Ijesa zone, Nigeria. No comprehensive data were available for correlating it with the staging of HIV/AIDS in this region.The pattern of oral HIV lesions as classified by the EC-Clearinghouse was studied in 225 confirmed consecutive HIV-infected patients in this zone. Clinical dental examinations were conducted under natural daylight on all consenting HIV patients, sitting in an upright chair, using dental mirrors and probes. The prevalence of oral HIV lesions was 84.0%, with lesions ranging in number from one to six. The commonest HIV lesion was pseudo-membranous candidiasis (43.1%) followed by erythematous candidiasis (28.9%), angular cheilitis (28.9%), linear gingival erythema (24.0%) and ulcerations (8.9%). Lesions less commonly found were oral hairy leukoplakia (1.3%) and salivary gland swellings (1.3%). Heterosexual intercourse was the most common mode of transmission (94.7%) and HIV-1 (96.9%) the most prevalent pathogen among the study population. The majority of the patients were in the WHO clinical stage III (59.1%) and presented late. The prevalence of oral HIV lesions in the present study was high.

The Global Network on Dental Education: a new vision for IFDEA - De Vries (nci, J; Murtomaa, Heikki; Butler (com, M; Cherrett (nci, H; Ferrillo (nci, P; Ferro, María; Gadbury-Amyot, Cynthia; Haden, Karl; Manogue, Michael; Mintz, Jeffery; E. Mulvihill (nci, J; Murray (nci, B; et al. (European Journal of Dental Education, 2008)
The advent of globalization has changed our perspectives radically. It presents increased understanding of world affairs, new challenges and exciting opportunities. The inequitable distribution and use of finite energy resources and global warming are just two examples of challenges that can only be addressed by concerted international collaboration. Globalization has become an increasingly important influence on dentistry and dental education. The International Federation for Dental Educators and Associations (IFDEA) welcomes the challenges it now faces as a player in a complex multifaceted global community. This report addresses the new circumstances in which IFDEA must operate, taking account of the recommendations made by other working groups. The report reviews the background and evolution of IFDEA and describes the extensive developments that have taken place in IFDEA over the past year with the introductions of a new Constitution and Bylaws overseen by a newly established Board of Directors. These were the consequence of a new mission, goals and objectives for IFDEA. An expanded organization is planned using http://www.IFDEA.org as the primary instrument to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, programmes and expertise between colleagues and federated associations throughout the world, thereby promoting higher standards in oral health through education in low-, middle- and high-income countries of the world. Such aspirations are modified by the reality and enormity of poverty-related global ill health.

Oral health and the elderly in Nigeria: a case for oral health promotion - Ojofeitimi, Ebenezer; Adedigba, Michael; Ogunbodede, Eyitope; R Fajemilehin, Boluwaji; Adegbehingbe, Bernice (Gerodontology, 2008)
To determine the prevalence of problems associated with chewing and the relationship with body mass index, the self-reported rating of oral health and normative oral hygiene assessment among the elderly.This was a descriptive community based study carried out in three locations in Ife-Ijesa zone (south western Nigeria). Elderly persons of 55 years and above were recruited through the religious organisations. All elderly who volunteered were assisted in completing a questionnaire on their socio-demographic status, chewing ability, any quadrant associated with problems and self-rating of oral health. An oral examination under a natural daylight using sterile wooden spatulae and an upright chair was carried out. The Oral Hygiene Index of Greene and Vermillion [Journal of the American Dental Association (1964) 61, p. 172] was used to determine the oral hygiene status. The lower right quadrant had the highest frequency of complaint on difficulty with chewing (15.6%), and 44.1% of the subjects had problems with chewing. Twenty-nine per cent rated their oral health as poor or very poor. There was a statistically significant association between the rating of oral health and the presence of calculus (p = 0.022). This was also true for oral hygiene and having any problem with chewing (p = 0.001). The self-rating of oral health was not in agreement with that of the normative finding. Health promotion focusing on the oral health of the elderly is a significant requirement for the study population. Proper evaluation of the effectiveness of traditional dentifrices must be carried out and interventions designed to address the possibility of improper usage.

This paper presents an architectural model for Wireless Peer-to-Peer (WP2P) file sharing system for ubiquitos mobile devices. File sharing is one of the rationales for computer networks with increasing demand for file sharing applications and technologies in small and large enterprise networks and on the Internet. With the popularity of mobile phones in day-to-day activities, P2P file sharing in mobile phones is highly desirable, especially in 2/2.5G mobile networks. The proposed model uses a hybrid or semi centralized architecture combined with the introduction of a database server to interface between the mobile devices. The P2P communication model employs the Short Messaging Service (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) as the messaging medium. The mobile phone initiates a search for a particular file on the mobile P2P network using a GPRS connection. The database replies the ‘searcher’ mobile phone with a list of all the available files and the details of the mobile phones that have them. With this information, the requesting phone makes a SMS connection to any of the phones provided by the database server. The phone keeping the file then sends it to the requesting phone using the MMS. We present the architectural model using mobile proxy, the SMS and MMS, for a mobile P2P network for 2/2.5G networks despite operator constraints.

Geospatial Data Infrastructure in Sub-Sahara Countries - A. Ayanlade; IOO Orimoogunje; P.B. Borisade (International Journal of Digital Earth, 2008)
People are now using geoinformation for many different purposes and consequently one can confidently say that the need for geospatial data infrastructure (GDI) cannot be overstated in sub-Saharan Africa. Geospatial information (GI) is essential to socio-economic planning and development of sub-Sahara African countries. This paper therefore examines: GI during the last centuries in sub-Sahara Africa; recent paradigms in GDI in sub-Sahara Africa; the benefit of GDI to the African economy and the future of GDI in sub-Sahara Africa. This study discovered that most countries in sub-Saharan Africa did not have timely access to accurate geospatial data throughout the last centuries. This significantly hindered meaningful social and economic development. Development of GDI nonetheless, will enhance search and retrieval of geospatial data in Africa. This is one of the benefits that can be derived from implementing GDI in sub-Sahara Africa. Therefore, it is necessary to review cadastral survey laws and regulations so as to incorporate the use of recent geospatial equipment.

A Study of Knowledge and Attitude of Adolescents in Relation to Sex Education in Secondary Schools in Nigeria: An Introductory Study - Dr. Bonke Adepeju Omoteso (International Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, 2008)
This study investigated the knowledge of and the disposition of adolescents to sex education in a local government area in Nigeria. It also examined the influence of sex and religion on the knowledge and attitude of the adolescents. A sample of 150 adolescents (62 males and 88 females) aged 13 to 18 years was selected purposively from Senior Secondary School Three Class (SSS 3) from four randomly selected secondary schools in the area. An instrument developed by the researcher and titled “Questionnaire on Knowledge of and Attitude towards Sex Education” (QKASE) was used to elicit information from the adolescents. Data collected were analysed using percentages, t test and ANOVA. The results of data analysis showed that the knowledge of the adolescents about sex education was inadequate. For example 40% did not know that sex education educates one about the function of sex. The adolescents were favourably disposed to sex education being introduced into schools (98%) and 76% of the adolescents wanted good books on sex education in their libraries. There were also significant sex differences in the knowledge of and attitude of the adolescents to sex education. Religion was found to have no significant influence on the knowledge and attitude of the adolescents.

Stem cell transplantation. - Oyekunle, A. A.; Durosinmi, M A (Nig. J Health Sciences., 2008)
In developed economies, stem cell transplantation (SCT) has become a reasonably safe procedure for several patients with various malignant and non-malignant diseases. Opinions are however still divided among the majority of experts in developing nations largely due to inadequate public infrastructure to sustain such sensitive procedures. In Nigeria, public awareness of SCT remains limited. Our specialists also view the challenges posed by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), post-transplant infections, relapse and organ toxicity with heightened pessimism. We need to be told that despite the many advances achieved in the field of SCT, some European countries still view SCTs as research procedures; so that an investment in SCT must be accompanied by an equal commitment to genuine medical research for optimal gains. We should also know that local opportunities at SCT will develop local expertise and research infrastructure, boost confidence and drive innovation and ultimately improve results. Moreover, Nigerians referred for SCT abroad will face the additional obstacle of finding matching donors, for which the odds are highly inordinate. While we await the emergence of a comprehensive National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), we may need to explore the opportunities inherent in the newly-approved public-private-partnership initiative for the purposes of setting up Nigeria’s first SCT unit; just as it was done successfully in India where SCT can now be procured at a tenth of the cost in the West.

The use of Imatinib mesylate (Glivec) in Nigerian patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. - Kuliya-Gwarzo, A; Ibegbulam, O G; Mamman, A; Raji, A A; Akingbola, T S; Mabayoje, V O; Ocheni, S.; Tanko, Y; Amusu, O A; Akinyanju, O O; Ndakotsu, M. A.; Kassim, D O; et al. (Cellular Therapy and Transplantation, 2008)
Objectives: To assess response and toxicity to Imatinib mesylate (Glivec) in Nigerian Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Methods: From August 2003 to August 2007, 98 consecutive, consenting patients, 56 (57%) males and 42 (43%) females, median age 36 years (range, 11-65 years) diagnosed with CML, irrespective of disease phase received Imatinib at a dose of 300-600mg/day at the OAU Teaching Hospitals, Nigeria. Response to therapy was assessed by clinical, haematological and cytogenetic parameters. Blood counts were checked every two weeks in the first three months of therapy. Chromosome analysis was repeated sixth monthly. Overall survival (OS) and frequency of complete or major cytogenetic remission (CCR/MCR) were evaluated. Results: Complete haematologic remission was achieved in 64% and 83% of patients at one and three months, respectively. With a median follow-up of 25 months, the rates of CCR and MCR were 59% and 35% respectively. At 12 months of follow-up, OS and progression- free survival (PFS) were 96% and 91%, respectively. Achievement of CR at six months was associated with significantly better survival (p = 0.043).Conclusions: Compared to treatment outcome with conventional chemotherapy and alpha interferon, as previously used in Nigeria, the results obtained with this regimen has established Imatinib as the first-line treatment strategy in patients with CML, as it is in other populations, with minimal morbidity.

Herpes zoster complicating imatinib mesylate for gastrointestinal stromal tumour - Oyekunle, A. A.; Salawu, L; Ogbe, P. O.; Durosinmi, M A (Singapore Med J, 2007)
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection is uncommon in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) and who have not been exposed to extensive radiotherapy and/or high-dose chemotherapy. We report a 56-year-old Nigerian man with GIST who developed VZV infection while on imatinib mesylate therapy. From August 2003 to November 2005, 64 patients (GIST/CML = 6/58) were enrolled into an ongoing Glivec (imatinib mesylate) international patient-assistance programme therapy for Philadelphia/bcr-abl-positive chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and CD117-positive GIST patients at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. The patient developed herpes zoster (HZ) infection 23 months into therapy with Glivec. With his absolute lymphocyte count at 2,774 cells per microlitre and CD4 count at 950 cells per microlitre, no obvious immunological defect was observed. Prompt resolution of symptoms without sequelae was achieved by treating with acyclovir, analgesic and dressing of lesions with desiccant. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of HZ infection in a patient with GIST on Glivec therapy, and the response is similar to that of CML patients who developed VZV while on similar therapy.

Oral health treatment needs of HIV/AIDS patients in Ife-Ijesa zone, Nigeria - Adedigba, Michael; Ogunbodede, Eyitope; O Jeboda, S; Naidoo, S (Tanzania Dental Journal, 2007)
The objective of this study was to determine the oral health status and needs of people living with HIV/AIDS(PLWHA) in Ife-Ijesa zone, Nigeria. Materials and methods: An anonymous, administered questionnaire survey among 209 PLWHA who provided informed, written consent was conducted. Information on socio-demographics, perceived oral health status and professional care obtained. Clinical oral examinations were conducted using a dental explorer and mirror in natural daylight. The oral examinations were carried out to determine, presence of oral HIV lesions, normative needs-oral hygiene and periodontal status, restorative and surgical needs. Results: There was a statistically significant relationship between the presence of an oral HIV lesion and perceived oral health status. Patients that reported the need for oral health care are more than those of medical needs (p<0.05). The oral health needs increased as the clinical stage of the disease advanced (p<0.05). There was poor oral health status among the PLWHA and their needs were routine. Conclusions: The oral health status of the examined PLWHAs was poor. The normative and the perceived oral health evaluation were not in agreement in this study. The normative oral health care needs of PLWHAs are not complex and hence district oral health care centres should be equipped to meet these needs.

The role of secondary school teachers in HIV prevention in Nigeria - K. Hammed, M; Adedigba, Michael; Ogunbodede, Eyitope (Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies, 2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge about HIV/AIDS among classroom secondary school teachers and document any efforts at educating their pupils about HIV prevention. A self-administered questionnaire addressed issues on demography, knowledge and awareness on HIV/AIDS and their roles in HIV/AIDS prevention. All consenting school teachers in the Irewole local government area of Osun State, Nigeria, participated in this study. The response rate was 91.7% (n = 180). There were more males (76.4%) than females (23.0%) The mean (± SD) age of the respondents was 41.5 (±15.5) years. More than 90% had adequate knowledge of HIV/AIDS and indicated that it could be prevented. Furthermore, 86.1% wanted HIV/AIDS preventive education to be made compulsory in the secondary school curriculum. There were 131 (n = 165, 79.4%) teachers who did not teach HIV/AIDS prevention, while 32 (19.4%) teachers believed that the pupils were too young and that the non-availability of guidelines and resources are reasons for not teaching it. One hundred and fifty-three (92.7%) of the respondents would like to attend a course/programme/workshop to update their knowledge and 139 (84.2%) of teachers would like to be part of an HIV/ AIDS prevention group for their community. There is a need for school teachers to be trained adequately and provided with a structured educational programme to follow in order to enhance effectiveness in HIV/ AIDS preventive education to pupils.

Management of the oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS by traditional healers and care givers - Rudolph, Michael; Ogunbodede, Eyitope; Mistry, M (Curationis, 2007)
In many communities of South Africa, traditional healers are often the only means of health care delivery available. The level of knowledge and ability to recognize oral lesions of 32 traditional healers and 17 care-givers were assessed after a two-day workshop. The data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire, complimented by enlarged clinical photographs of the common oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS. Prior to the workshop, 46 (93.9%) of the 49 respondents had never had any formal information on oral health and 43 (87.8%) were unfamiliar with the symptoms of oral diseases. Thirty-five (71.4%) recognized bleeding gums from A4-size photographs and 11 (22.4%) recognized oral thrush. The recognition of other oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS were; oral hairy leukoplakia (41.0%), angular cheilitis (43.6%), herpes virus infection (56.4%), oral ulcerations (56.8%), and in children, parotid enlargement (27.3%), and moluscum contagiosum (56.8%). Traditional healers and caregivers constitute an untapped resource with enormous potential. A positive bridge should be built to link traditional healing with modem medicine in the struggle against HIV/AIDS.

Erosive Potential of Soft Drinks in Nigeria - Bamise, Cornelius Tokunbo; Ogunbodede, Eyitope; Olusile, Adeyemi; Esan, Temitope (World J Med Sci, 2007)
The aim of this study was to assess the erosive potential of some soft drinks commonly consumed in Nigeria. A range of popular carbonated drinks (cola and non-cola) and fruit juices were selected. On two occasions, the followings were determined; (1) the pH, measured by a digital pH meter on opening of th e packaging can or bottle. (2) The volume of 1.0M sodium hydroxide required to raise the pH of 50 ml of the drinks to pH 5.5 and pH 7.0. The pH before titration ranges from 2.70 to 4.48 for the carbonated drinks and 3.54-3.91 for the fruit juices. The soft drinks and the fruit juices investigated had pH before titration lower than the critical pH 5.5 for enamel dissolution. The volume of 1.0M sodium hydroxide required to bring the drinks to pH 5.5 ranged from 0.5 to 6.1mls and 1.8 to 8.2 mls of the base needed to neutralize the drinks to pH 7.0. The fruit juices needed the most base to neutralize its acidity. Despite having a lower pH than the fruit drinks, the carbonated drinks required a relatively lower base to neutralize. This study concludes that all the popular soft drinks in Nigeria selected for this study had significant erosive potential. They had pH below the critical pH of enamel dissolution. The erosive potential of the fruit juices was more than the carbonated cola and non-cola drinks. This information will be of use to clinicians when counseling patients with tooth surface loss.
