![]() The periodontopathic potential of dental calculus Currently, dental plaque remains the mainstay in the etiology of periodontal diseases. Periodontal diseases have changed over time, dental plaque took the entire spotlight and calculus was almost ignored. The mineral proportion of calculus ranges from approximately 40–60%. Calculus is composed of both inorganic (mineral) and organic (cellular and extracellular matrix) components. Precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid in plaque on the teeth formed dental calculus. Organized, multispecies, complex biofilms. The mouth like all other surfaces in the body is a naturalĬommunity of microorganisms, which exist as structurally.

Saliva and urinary samples resulted lower magnesium ions in the study group but not statistically difference compered to the control one, while high scores of calcium and phosphorus ions were found in the study group.Īfter laboratory investigations and bio statistical analysis a relation has been found linking both conditions. Results: Plaque, Calculus and Gingival Indices showed High mean values among study group with significant differences compared to control group. Saliva and urine samples were obtained to measure the levels of Calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), magnesium (Mg) and pH. Oral examination was carried out for both groups using the gingival index, plaque index, and oral hygiene index-calculus index, debris index. The control group consisted of 31participants whilst the study group had 34 participants. Methods & Materials: The study was comprised of 65 patients of the lithotripsy clinic participated in the study all volunteered after reviewing and accepting the study’s proposal. The objective was instigated due to the multiple shared features and the high prevalence of formation factors and the calcification process of dental calculus and renal calculi. Aim & Objective: The study aimed to investigate and explore the relationship between dental calculus formations among recurrent renal calculi formers. ![]() Whereas kidney (renal) calculi is a solid concentration or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals present in urine. Dental calculus is a form of hardened dental plaque of both inorganic (mineral) and organic (cellular and extracellular ![]()
