| calculus | A calcium salt concretion which forms on your teeth. Calculus deposits form on the teeth in areas which you do not floss or brush. If these concretions are left to build up on the tooth enamel, they will irritate the gum tissue, push it away from the tooth and promote progressive bone loss. Eventually the teeth can loosen and fall out. These deposits can be removed by a dentist or a dental hygienist on an annual to biannual basis. (renal) A solid concretion or stone which forms within the urinary tract (kidney). (27 Sep 1997) |
| calculus I | An abnormal concretion occurring within the animal body and usually composed of mineral salts. (18 Nov 1997) |
| calculus II | <dentistry> A hard, yellowish to brownish black deposit or teeth formed largely through the mineralisation of dead bacteria in dental plaques by the calcium salts in salivary secretions and subgingival transudates. Synonym: tartar. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Calculus Surface Index | An index that measures only dental calculus, used for evaluating new calculus formation within a large group of test subjects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic calculus | A concretion, usually multiple, in the pancreatic duct, associated with chronic pancreatitis. Synonym: pancreatolith, pancreolith. (05 Mar 2000) |
