Dental plaque bioform
Bacteria in the oral cavity can be found in saliva or adhered to oral surfaces (mucosa, tongue, teeth)

Amylases
In solution, it has antibacterial capacity vs. streptococci
Adsorbed to tooth surface, they can promote adherence of these bacteria and digest starch to dietary maltose and production of acid

Calculus
-
Background
Dental Calculus consists of mineralised bacterial plaque that forms on the surfaces of natural teeth and dental prosthesis. [Carranza 1998]
-
A deposit of inorganic salts composed primarily of calcium carbonate and phosphate mixed with food debris bacteria and desquamated epithelial cells. (Greene 1967)
Calculus is formed in layers, which are often separated by a thin cuticle that becomes embedded in the calculus as calcification progresses.
Dental calculus
-
Most frequent sites are on the lingual surfaces of the mandibular anterior teeth opposite Warton’s duct and on the buccal surfaces of the maxillary molars opposite Stenson’s duct
Crowns of teeth out of occlusion; non-functional; or teeth that are neglected during daily plaque removal.

Composition
Supra-gingival calculus
Inorganic(70to90%)
✓75.9% calcium phosphate, Ca(PO4)2
✓ 3.1% calcium carbonate, CaCO3.
✓ Traces of magnesium phosphate,Mg3(PO4)2

Source of minerals
-
Subgingival齦下 calculus
the gingival sulcus fluid and inflammatory exudate supply the minerals for the sub-gingival deposits.
Because the amount of sulcus fluid and exudate increases in inflammation, more minerals are available for mineralisation of subgingival plaque
