Periodontics
This process occurs due to the deposition of minerals, primarily calcium and
phosphate ions, in the presence of organic matrix components and bacteria within
the plaque.
Mineralization in dental plaque often starts at the interface between the tooth
surface and the plaque, where the organic matrix provides a substrate forthe
deposition of mineral ions.
As the process continues, the plaque can become increasingly calcified, with the
mineral content moving from the tooth surface outwards towards the surface of
the plaque.
This can lead to the formation oftartar or dental calculus, which is a hardened
deposit of mineralized plaque that can contribute to dental diseases like
gingivitis and periodontitis.
