An in vitro technique is reported which permits independent study of plaque formation and calcification on a quantitative basis.
Maintenance of salivary CO2 at 60 mm. Hg and pH below 7.2 during plaque formation inhibited in vitro formation of calculus. Because decalcified calculus was shown to remineralize, it was concluded that the organic matrix contained a substance which could initiate calcification.
