SUBGINGIVAL DENTAL CALCULUS DETECTION WITH A WHO PERIODONTAL PROBE: AN IN VITRO EVALUATION.
… periodontal probing depths, and to detect dental calculus and overhanging margins of dental restorations, in epidemiologic surveys of periodontal status in population groups. However, the ability of the WHO probe to reliably identify subgingival dental calculus on tooth root surfaces has …

Impact of Host Diet and Lifestyle on Oral Microbial Ecologies Across Temporal and Geographic Scales
… geography, and time. This work uses calcified dental plaque, or dental calculus, which forms on the surfaces of the teeth throughout an individual’s life and traps microbes and their genetic information. Leveraging advances in shotgun metagenomic sequencing and ancient DNA techniques, oral …

An integrative, community-collaborative approach to investigating health, diet, and the oral microbiome in ancestral and descendant coast Tsimshian communities
… Using ancient bacterial DNA extracted from the dental calculus of the ancestral community, this project also characterizes the composition of the oral microbiome of this community, and examines variation in oral microbial diversity correlated with inter-individual variation in diet and oral …
