Reactivity of aragonite with dicalcium phosphate facilitates removal of dental calculus [PDF]
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in MedicineDental calculus, a main contributor of periodontal diseases, is mostly composed of inorganic calcium phosphate species such as dicalcium phosphate, whitlockite, octa calcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Investigating Plant Micro-Remains Embedded in Dental Calculus of the Phoenician Inhabitants of Motya (Sicily, Italy) [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Plant records reveal remarkable evidence about past environments and human cultures. Exploiting dental calculus analysis and using a combined approach of microscopy and gas chromatography mass spectrometry, our research outlines dietary ecology and ...
