Tartar is a yellowish-brown, mineralised organic structure that affects the surface of teeth and hard surfaces in the mouth. Commonly known as “calculus”, tartar is actually the result of the mineralisation process of plaque.
Plaque doesn't spare anyone! It can appear in children with milk teeth, adolescents, adults, and even the elderly with prosthetic appliances.
It forms on all hard surfaces in the oral cavity, on crowns, on fillings, and on dental appliances.
Tartar generally appears in areas bathed abundantly by saliva, i.e. on the lower incisors and the buccal surfaces of the upper posterior teeth.
The lower teeth suffer more from tartar deposits because the saliva produced by the sublingual glands is richer in salts.
Initial, incompletely mineralised tartar is soft in consistency, is removed quite easily, and its colour is yellowish-white. As mineral sediments are deposited, it calcifies and is pigmented, taking on a brownish-maroon colour.
This mineralised deposit presents in two clinical forms: supragingival calculus and subgingival calculus.
A beautiful smile is maintained by following certain rules of oral hygiene. Adopting correct measures for cleaning the oral cavity primarily means healthy teeth without food debris, without inflamed gums, without cavities, and without bad breath.
The rules for cleaning teeth and gums are simple, but each operation must be thoroughly performed to achieve the desired results. The most important rules for oral hygiene that prevent the formation of bacterial plaque and tartar are those of prevention, control and professional cleaning. These should be complemented by other measures, such as fluoride and vitamin treatments, as well as adopting a correct diet plan.
Dental caries are diseases of tooth tissue. They occur when the tooth enamel cracks, allowing bacteria to develop. The resulting bacterial colonies affect the hard tissue and lead to the formation of holes in the teeth and molars.
Bacterial plaque, also known as dental plaque, is a whitish-yellowish substance, characterised by a soft, very adherent consistency, which deposits on the hard surfaces in the oral cavity. Bacterial plaque is found on the surface of the teeth, in the interdental spaces, on the gums, on prosthetic surfaces, on the surfaces of prosthetic abutments and even on dental debris.
