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 ...

Multi-omic detection of Mycobacterium leprae in archaeological human dental calculus. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 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 ...

Exploring the potential of dental calculus to shed light on past human migrations in Oceania [PDF]

Nature Communications
The Pacific islands and Island Southeast Asia have experienced multiple waves of human migrations, providing a case study for exploring the potential of ancient microbiomes to study human migration. We perform a metagenomic study of archaeological dental

Dental Calculus as a Tool to Study the Evolution of the Mammalian Oral Microbiome. [PDF]

Mol Biol Evol, 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

The dental calculus metabolome in modern and historic samples. [PDF]

Metabolomics, 2017
INTRODUCTION: Dental calculus is a mineralized microbial dental plaque biofilm that forms throughout life by precipitation of salivary calcium salts. Successive cycles of dental plaque growth and calcification make it an unusually well-preserved, long ...
