Study on mercury in dental calculus.
THE JOURNAL OF THE STOMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY,JAPAN, 1989 It has been reported that dental calculus contains trace elements of mercury besides lead, cadmium and zinc. The mercury is one of the hazardous metal elements from the environmental point of view. The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism of the accumulation of mercury in the dental calculus. The results were as follows: 1.

Dental calculus detection using the VistaCam [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2016 AbstractThe VistaCam® intra‐oral camera system (Dürr Dental, Bietigheim‐Bissingen, Germany) is a fluorescence system using light emitting diodes that produce a 405‐nm violet light. This wavelength has potential application for detection of dental calculus based on red emissions from porphyrin molecules.
