The perioscope is a miniature periodontal endoscope.
When inserted into the periodontal pocket, it images the subgingival root surface, tooth surface, and calculus (Figs..
Sometimes, if the calculus becomes big enough, it will show up in the x-ray radiograph image as a radiopaque projection of the teeth. radiograph depends on the density of the calculus and the location.
Calculus appears as a dense radiopaque projections in a radiograph..
Sometimes, if the calculus becomes big enough, it will show up in the xray radiograph image as white granules on the tooth surface.
Dental Calculus shows up on the dental Xray image.
Notice the white solid on the surface of the tooth.
These calculus requires professional treatment for complete removal.Aug 29, 2014.
Dental calculus, both supra- and subgingival occurs in the majority of adults worldwide.
Dental calculus is calcified dental plaque, composed primarily of calcium phosphate mineral salts deposited between and within remnants of formerly viable microorganisms.
A viable dental plaque covers mineralized calculus deposits..
In dentistry, calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque.
It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in plaque on the teeth..
Calculus (or tartar) is a hard substance created by mineralized plaque on the surfaces of the tooth.
If not removed, plaque will turn into calculus after around 2 weeks.
It is predominantly made up of calcium phosphate and survives well in the burial environment..

These findings suggest that calculus can act as a relatively stable repository of bioinformation because the dental calculus used in archaeology usually has a history of hundreds or even thousands of years
Thus, in modern etiological research, dental calculus appears to be reliable for detection
Dental calculus is the plaque and sediment that has calcified or is calcifying on the tooth surface or prosthodontic body
It can be divided into supragingival calculus and subgingival calculus according to the location of deposition above or below the boundary of the gingival margin ( Akcalı and Lang, 2018 )
The bulk of DNA in dental calculus is microbial and originates from the oral microbiota (community of microorganisms within the oral cavity); however, a small, consistent and genetically rich proportion is endogenous human DNA
The mechanisms by which human DNA is incorporated into dental calculus are not fully understood
