07/01/2016 - "Effect of occlusal calculus utilized as a potential "biological sealant" in special needs patients with gastric feeding tubes: a qualitative in vitro contrast to pit and fissure sealant restorations."
09/01/2005 - "A statistically significant difference was detected between treated and untreated teeth compared with baseline values for plaque and calculus at weeks 4 and 8, gingivitis at week 4, and gingival bleeding time at week 8. A professional teeth cleaning procedure followed by a single application of the barrier dental sealant and weekly reapplication performed by a veterinarian or veterinary technician provided significant improvement in plaque and calculus indices during an 8-week period."
10/01/2021 - "Among the 152 deaf-mute students, caries rate was 53.3%, DMFT index was 1.80±2.66, detection rate of gingival bleeding was 65.8%, detection rate of calculus was 69.7%, caries rate of first molar was 36.2%, and percentage of pit and fissure sealant was 0.6%. "
01/01/2019 - "Teeth presence and condition, gingival bleeding and calculus and the presence of dental sealants in occlusal surfaces of permanent molars were recorded. "
07/01/2016 - "Previously photographed calculus-free molars with pit and fissure sealants were reviewed and served as contrasting "restorations." The occlusal calculus on the primary teeth extracted from the patient absorbed the dye, while the comparison teeth containing pit and fissure sealants exhibited varying degrees of marginal dye penetration (microleakage).
