Calcifying Dental Plaque and Reduced Dental Caries in Permanent Molars of Children from Two Guatemalan Villages

LLOYD V. SUTFIN 1, EDWARD A. SWEENEY 1, and WERNER ASCOLI 1

1 Department of Nutrition, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139; Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts 02138; and The Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama, Guatemala City, Guatemala, CA

This study showed that the presence of calculus and partially calcified dental plaque was associated with a reduction of dental caries of the buccal and lingual surfaces of the mandibular and maxillary first permanent molars in young Guatemalan school-children. Calcified plaques in these areas probably arose from high calcium-containing food deposits.
