| Popis: | While obtaining dental calculus samples from producers for subsequent chemical studies on calculus formation, it was observed that calculus producers of all ages exhibited varying degrees of caries activity. In any studies on factors involved in dental calculus formation the possible antagonism of the caries and calculus processes would have to be considered. Indeed, Hodge and Leung1 suggest that the physicochemical conditions in saliva which contribute to enamel decalcification (caries?) inhibit calculus formation. Bibby2 likewise concluded from an extensive review of the literature that "calculus deposition and increased putrification associated with periodontal pathology oppose caries and variations in salivary chemistry found in periodontitis occur with low caries activity." On the other hand, Maldanado,3 Tishler,4 and Miller and Seidler5 present clinical findings that caries occurrence is independent of periodontal disease. This study was undertaken to clarify the relationship, if any, between increased calculus deposition and caries activity in calculus producers, in order to design subsequent experiments on factors which may predispose to calculus. |
