Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dental calculus is composed of inorganic components and organic matrix. Brushite, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, octacalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, and whitlockite form the mineral part of dental calculus. Salivary proteins selectively adsorb on the tooth surface to form an acquired pellicle.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two basic types of dental calculus that patients should know about: supragingival and subgingival. The difference mostly has to do with the location of the calculus relative to the gumline.
