Effect of salivary urea, pH and ureolytic microflora on dental calculus formation and its correlation with periodontal status [PDF]

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2023
Context: Dental calculus, formed by mineralization of plaque predisposes to the development of periodontal disease. Aim: To evaluate the influence of salivary urea and the presence of ureolytic bacteria on dental calculus formation and periodontal status

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

Auxiliary Diagnosis of Dental Calculus Based on Deep Learning and Image Enhancement by Bitewing Radiographs [PDF]

Bioengineering
In the field of dentistry, the presence of dental calculus is a commonly encountered issue. If not addressed promptly, it has the potential to lead to gum inflammation and eventual tooth loss.

Dental calculus detection using the VistaCam [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2016
AbstractThe VistaCam® intra‐oral camera system (Dürr Dental, Bietigheim‐Bissingen, Germany) is a fluorescence system using light emitting diodes that produce a 405‐nm violet light. This wavelength has potential application for detection of dental calculus based on red emissions from porphyrin molecules.

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 ...

Correlation between the Macronutrient Content of Dental Calculus and the FFQ-Based Nutritional Intake of Obese and Normal-Weight Individuals

International Journal of Dentistry, 2021
The growing epidemic of chronic diseases afflicting both developed and developing countries is related to diet and lifestyle. The current dietary assessment still has many constraints, particularly related to the objectivity of data gathering.

Dental Calculus Stimulates Interleukin-1β Secretion by Activating NLRP3 Inflammasome in Human and Mouse Phagocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Dental calculus is a mineralized deposit associated with periodontitis. The bacterial components contained in dental calculus can be recognized by host immune sensors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and induce transcription of proinflammatory ...
