Dental Caries, and Supragingival Plaque and Calculus among Students, Tanga, Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2012 The prevalence of dental caries and supragingival plaque and calculus in 785 secondary schools students was assessed. More than half (53.6%) of the students were caries-free, and the majority of those with dental caries experience were aged 14-17 (68.1%)

An unusual presentation of dental calculus
Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2019 Calculus is a mineralized bacterial plaque that is formed on natural teeth surfaces where there is constant supply of saliva. Dental calculus is commonly seen over the buccal surfaces of maxillary molars and lingual surfaces of mandibular anterior teeth where the salivary duct opens into the oral cavity.

Fluorescence spectroscopy of dental calculus
Journal of Periodontal Research, 2004 Background: Correct diagnosis of the presence and extent of subgingival calculus is important for periodontal treatment planning and reassessment after periodontal therapy. Traditional tactile methods often lack sensitivity. The present investigation shall contribute to understanding the fundamental fluorescence properties that may be useful for ...

Investigation of in vitro Mineral Forming Bacterial Isolates from Subgingival Calculus
Archives of Clinical and Experimental Surgery, 2014 The mechanism that dictates the formation of dental calculus, an important component of periodontal health, has yet to be sufficiently explained. The effect of bacterial flora on dental calculus formation is important for periodontal status.
