Metagenomic analysis of ancient dental calculus reveals unexplored diversity of oral archaeal Methanobrevibacter [PDF]
Microbiome, 2021 Background Dental calculus (mineralised dental plaque) preserves many types of microfossils and biomolecules, including microbial and host DNA, and ancient calculus are thus an important source of information regarding our ancestral human oral microbiome.

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 ...

The Hidden Secrets of the Dental Calculus: Calibration of a Mass Spectrometry Protocol for Dental Calculus Protein Analysis. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 AbstractDental calculus is a solid deposit that forms and accumulates on the tooth surface, entrapping oral microorganisms, biomolecules, and other micro-debris found in the oral cavity. Mass spectrometry analysis of its protein content opens a vista into the subject’s diet, oral flora, and even some aspects of health, thus providing new insight and ...
