Dental Calculus: a Strategic Review
Dental calculus or tartar is an adherent calcified mass that form on the surface of teeth and dental appliance through mineralization of bacterial dental plaque in aqueous environment. Dental calculus plays a vital role in aggravating the periodontal disease by acting as reservoir for the bacterial plaque and providing the protected-covered niche for bacteria to proliferate. Based upon the loca...
متن کاملDental Calculus Arrest of Dental Caries
BACKGROUND 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. To further assess the occurrence ...
متن کاملA Study of Whole Saliva and Dental Calculus in Submariners
Dental calculus is known to be related to the initiation of periodontal disease. Recent studies have indicated that salivary acid-base changes occur on patrol and that such changes may reasonably be expected to influence the formation and composition of dental calculus. A study was completed to examine these factors. Whole saliva samples were collected from eleven crewmen of a Polaris submarine...
متن کاملBacterial sex in dental plaque
Genes are transferred between bacteria in dental plaque by transduction, conjugation, and transformation. Membrane vesicles can also provide a mechanism for horizontal gene transfer. DNA transfer is considered bacterial sex, but the transfer is not parallel to processes that we associate with sex in higher organisms. Several examples of bacterial gene transfer in the oral cavity are given in th...
متن کاملBacterial interactions in dental biofilm.
Biofilms are masses of microorganisms that bind to and multiply on a solid surface, typically with a fluid bathing the microbes. The microorganisms that are not attached but are free floating in an aqueous environment are termed planktonic cells. Traditionally, microbiology research has addressed results from planktonic bacterial cells. However, many recent studies have indicated that biofilms ...
