Please Forget to Floss: Developing an Assay for Identifying Tuberculosis in Dental Calculus from the Smithsonian’s Huntington Collection (1893-1921) [PDF]
Tuberculosis is one of the most ubiquitous diseases in human history. Despite the long history of human interactions with the disease, tracking it retroactively is difficult because of its low rate of associated, diagnostic bony changes.

The efficacy of whole human genome capture on ancient dental calculus and dentin [PDF]
Objectives: Dental calculus is among the richest known sources of ancient DNA in the archaeological record. Although most DNA within calculus is microbial, it has been shown to contain sufficient human DNA for the targeted retrieval of whole ...

Immunochemical Studies on Dental Calculus
It has already been pointed out that dental calculus is one of major factors in periodontal disease. Recent finding by fluorescent antibody technique is suggesting the immunologic response in the inflamed gingiva.It leads to the hypothesis that calculus may play an important role in periodontal tissues as antigen.Rabbits were immunized with calculus ...
