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.

Bioengineering, 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.

Multi-omic detection of Mycobacterium leprae in archaeological human dental calculus
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020 Mineralized dental plaque (calculus) has proven to be an excellent source of ancient biomolecules. Here we present a Mycobacterium leprae genome (6.6-fold), the causative agent of leprosy, recovered via shotgun sequencing of sixteenth-century human ...

Journal 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 ...

Investigation of the calculus microbiome in canines and felines using next-generation sequencing [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2018 The oral cavity of dogs and cats is colonized by hundreds of bacterial species. Here, we describe the bacterial composition in the dental calculus of dogs and cats.

Dental Calculus as a Tool to Study the Evolution of the Mammalian Oral Microbiome
Molecular biology and evolution, 2020 Dental calculus, the calcified form of the mammalian oral microbial plaque biofilm, is a rich source of oral microbiome, host, and dietary biomolecules and is well preserved in museum and archaeological specimens. Despite its wide presence in mammals, to
