Dental calculus as a proxy for animal microbiomes. [PDF]
Quat Int, 2023 The field of dental calculus research has exploded in recent years, predominantly due to the multitude of studies related to human genomes and oral pathogens. Despite having a subset of these studies devoted to non-human primates, little progress has been made in the distribution of oral pathogens across domestic and wild animal populations.

Salivary proteomic profile of dogs with and without dental calculus [PDF]
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 ...

Multi-omic detection ofMycobacterium lepraein archaeological human dental calculus [PDF]
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 ...

Dental Calculus Arrest of Dental Caries [PDF]
Journal of Oral Biology, 2016 An inverse relationship between dental calculus mineralization and dental caries demineralization on teeth has been noted in some studies. Dental calculus may even form superficial layers over existing dental caries and arrest their progression, but this phenomenon has been only rarely documented and infrequently considered in the field of Cariology ...
