Abstract

ln the bacterial molds of human dental calculus formed by the extracellular calcification, whitlockite and octacalcium phosphate crystals as well as apatite crystals were occasionally precipitated in the later stages of calculus formation. Thus, the deposits would be similar to the calculus formed by both the intra-and extracellular calcifications.
