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 ...

Quantitative metaproteomics of medieval dental calculus reveals individual oral health status [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Mineralized plaque, or dental calculus, is a valuable reservoir of the ancient oral microbiome. Here, the authors use quantitative metaproteomics to analyze the dental calculus of 21 individuals from a medieval cemetery, identifying human and microbial ...

The dental calculus metabolome in modern and historic samples [PDF]
Metabolomics, 2017 Introduction Dental calculus is a mineralized microbial dental plaque biofilm that forms throughout life by precipitation of salivary calcium salts. Successive cycles of dental plaque growth and calcification make it an unusually wellpreserved, long-term

A unified protocol for simultaneous extraction of DNA and proteins from archaeological dental calculus [PDF]
, 2020 Archaeological materials are a finite resource, and efforts should be made to minimize destructive analyses. This can be achieved by using protocols combining extraction of several types of biomolecules or microparticles, which decreases the material ...

Metagenomic analysis of ancient dental calculus reveals unexplored diversity of oral archaeal Methanobrevibacter [PDF]
Microbiome, 2021 Background Dental calculus (mineralised dental plaque) preserves many types of microfossils and biomolecules, including microbial and host DNA, and ancient calculus are thus an important source of information regarding our ancestral human oral ...

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 ...
