Dental Calculus: A Bacterial Hub [PDF]
Journal of Dental Problems and Solutions, 2016 The Surgeon General's report on oral health highlights the relationship between oral and overall health, emphasizing that oral health involves more than dentition [1]. Mouth acts as a window to lot of systemic diseases and serves as a port of entry of the various infections that can alter and affect the immune status of the person.

Zinc incorporation in human dental calculus [PDF]
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2001 We present here the first study of the local environment of zinc ions in biological calcium phosphates. It was suggested from in vitro studies that zinc inhibits the formation of hydroxyapatite and promotes the formation of more soluble phases, like tricalcium phosphate. Several mechanisms of zinc - calcium phosphate interaction were proposed, yielding

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.

A Comprehensive Review on Dental Calculus [PDF]
Journal of Health Sciences & Research, 2016 ABSTRACT Dental calculus is a hard deposit that is formed by calcification of dental plaque primarily composed of calcium phosphate mineral salts which is deposited on natural teeth and restorations and is covered by a layer of unmineralized plaque. These hard deposits may form coronal to or apical to the gingival margin, hence named accordingly as ...

Dental Calculus Arrest of Dental Caries [PDF]
Journal of Oral Biology, 2016 An inverse relationship between dental calculus mineralization and dental caries demineralization on teeth has been noted in some studies. Dental calculus may even form superficial layers over existing dental caries and arrest their progression, but this phenomenon has been only rarely documented and infrequently considered in the field of Cariology ...

Dental Calculus Stimulates Interleukin-1β Secretion by Activating NLRP3 Inflammasome in Human and Mouse Phagocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Dental calculus is a mineralized deposit associated with periodontitis. The bacterial components contained in dental calculus can be recognized by host immune sensors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and induce transcription of proinflammatory ...

Dental calculus as a proxy for animal microbiomes
Quaternary International, 2023 The field of dental calculus research has exploded in recent years, predominantly due to the multitude of studies related to human genomes and oral pathogens. Despite having a subset of these studies devoted to non-human primates, little progress has been made in the distribution of oral pathogens across domestic and wild animal populations.

Salivary proteomic profile of dogs with and without dental calculus
BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Dogs’ saliva is a complex mixture of inorganic and organic constituents, rich in proteins. Therefore, knowing the saliva composition of these animals is extremely important to identify the presence of proteins that may be involved in ...
