Q

Crystals

A

at least two-thirds of the inorganic matter matter of calculus is crystalline, principally apatitie. predominating is hydroxyapatite, which is the same crystal present in enamel, denton, cementum, and bone. Calculus also contains varying amounts of brushite, whitlockite, and octocalcium phosphate

Q

Overjet

A

(measurement)
the horizontal distance between the labioncisal surfaces of mandibular incisors and the linguincisal surfaces of the maxiallry incisors. One way to measure the amount of overjet is to place the tip of a probe on the labial surface of the mandibular incisor, holding it horizontally against the incisal edge of a maxillary tooth, read the distance in millimeters. (usually no greater than 3 mm)
