| Abstract | ||
| Salivary calcium level was determined in this study in individuals with good oral hygiene who have no repetitive history of calculus accumulation, and in individuals with a history of repetitive calculus formation whether subgingival or supragingival in spite of their attempts in controlling their oral hygiene. Salivary calcium concentration was significantly higher in the second group. Moreover, salivary calcium concentration in this study varied according to age. It is advisable to use alkaline mouthwashes and intensive good oral hygiene to control their calculus formation | ||
