Background
Although largely preventable through diet management and topical fluoride use, early childhood caries (ECC) often progresses to severity that necessitates surgical repair. Yet repair often fails to mitigate caries progression. Needed is an effective behavioral intervention to address underlying behavioral causes.
Methods
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the efficacy of a behaviorally focused, family-centered intervention, the MySmileBuddy Program (MSB Program),

1. Introduction
Aluminium (Al) is a major element of soil, and it turns into toxic forms when expose to acidic condition. Al3+ ions are released from clay minerals in acidic soils, which in turn inhibit root growth and reduce crop yields. It is reported that approximately 40–50% potentially arable lands are acidic in the world (Von Uexküll and Mutert, 1995). Root is very sensitive to Al3+ toxicity and root meristem is the primary site of Al toxicity (Ryan et al., 1993). Root growth in wheat
