Although efficient, this method can result in false positives and false negatives. This literature review explores alternative detection techniques that can detect subgingival calculus with improved accuracy and consistency. The accumulation of dental calculus below the gingival margin can foster periodontitis-inducing bacterial growth. Conventional methods of locating subgingival calculus are often inaccurate and highly dependent on clinician skill. This literature review evaluates techniques used to improve the accuracy of imaging and detecting subgingival calculus.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Google Scholar, PubMed and PubMed Central databases were searched for peer-reviewed original articles evaluating subgingival calculus imaging and detection techniques.
