Plaque minerals and caries experience: associations and interrelationships

R. G. Schamschula, M. Bunzel, H. M. Agus, B. L. Adkins, D. E. Barmes and G. Charlton

Inverse associations were demonstrated between DMFT and total calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, strontium, potassium, and fluoride concentrations in individual plaques. Lithium, strontium, fluoride, and zinc contents were inversely related to plaque mass. Consistent interdependence patterns between elements indicate the operation of a mineral level regulating mechanism, effective under diverse environmental conditions.
