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 ...

Dental calculus evidence of Taï Forest Chimpanzee plant consumption and life history transitions [PDF]

, 2015
Dental calculus (calcified dental plaque) is a source of multiple types of data on life history. Recent research has targeted the plant microremains preserved in this mineralised deposit as a source of dietary and health information for recent and past ...

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.

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

Frontiers 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

Correlation between parodontal indexes and orthodontic retainers: prospective study in a group of 16 patients [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose. Fixed retainers are used to stabilize dental elements after orthodontic treatment. Being it a permanent treatment, it is necessary to instruct patients about a constant and continuous monitoring of their periodontal conditions and a correct oral

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 ...

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

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 ...
