Disease activation maps for subgingival dental calculus identification based on intelligent dental optical coherence tomography

open access: yesTranslational Biophotonics, 2021
During the treatment of periodontitis, removal of dental calculus is essential but still tricky despite developments of several imaging modalities. In this research, we propose a novel approach to provide an intuitive guidance, to automatically detect ...

Microbial differences between dental plaque and historic dental calculus are related to oral biofilm maturation stage

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2019
Background Dental calculus, calcified oral plaque biofilm, contains microbial and host biomolecules that can be used to study historic microbiome communities and host responses. Dental calculus does not typically accumulate as much today as historically,

The effectiveness of an actuator-driven pulsed water jet for the removal of artificial dental calculus: a preliminary study

open access: yesBMC Oral Health, 2020
Background While hand and ultrasonic scalers are the primary tools used for the removal of dental calculus in periodontal treatment, many studies have shown that they also damage the enamel surface.

Fluorescence spectroscopy of dental calculus

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Quantitative Evaluation of Caries and Calculus with Ultrahigh-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography

open access: yesBioengineering, 2023
Dental caries on the crown’s surface is caused by the interaction of bacteria and carbohydrates, which then gradually alter the tooth’s structure. In addition, calculus is the root of periodontal disease.

Investigation of in vitro Mineral Forming Bacterial Isolates from Subgingival Calculus

open access: yesArchives 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.

An unusual presentation of dental calculus

open access: yesJournal 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.

Investigating Biases Associated With Dietary Starch Incorporation and Retention With an Oral Biofilm Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Dental calculus has proven to contain a wealth of information on the dietary habits of past populations. These insights have, to a large extent, been obtained by the extraction and identification of starch granules contained within the mineralised dental

Are increased salivary carbonic anhydrase VI levels related to the amount of supragingival dental calculus formation and clinical periodontal scores?

open access: yesJournal of Dental Sciences, 2015
Background/purpose: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) VI is a unique salivary isoenzyme that regulates the pH in the oral environment. Its increased levels result in a more-alkaline saliva, hence it was hypothesized to contribute to dental calculus formation ...
