Abstract

Hexagonal disk-shaped crystals were found in caries-arrested enamel as well as in early and old dental calculi with scanning electron microscopy. The crystals which were constructed with wafer-like laminations linked together, formed rosette-like structures, or aggregated with each other. The main components were calcium phosphate with a small amount of Mg under energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The crystals were frequently coexistent with Mg-containing whitlockite (WH) while no WH crystals were observed in the early calculus; thereby, the pH range of the formation sites might be lower than that of WH crystals.
在早期和老年牙结石和阻龋牙釉质中观察到六角形盘状晶体
扫描电镜观察发现,阻龋牙釉质和早期、老年牙结石中均存在六方圆盘状晶体。由晶圆状薄片组成的晶体连接在一起,形成玫瑰状结构,或彼此聚集。能量色散x射线微量分析表明,其主要成分为磷酸钙和少量Mg。结晶常与含镁白钨矿(WH)共存,而在结石早期未见WH结晶;因此,形成位点的pH范围可能低于WH晶体的pH范围。
