Investigation of in vitro Mineral Forming Bacterial Isolates from Subgingival Calculus
Archives of Clinical and Experimental Surgery, 2014 The mechanism that dictates the formation of dental calculus, an important component of periodontal health, has yet to be sufficiently explained. The effect of bacterial flora on dental calculus formation is important for periodontal status.

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