Q

Will all plaque turn in to calculus? Why or why not?

A

Not all plaque will become calcified, it depends on the binding of calcium ions to carbohydrate protein complexes of the organic matrix and precipitation of crystalline calcium phosphate salts. (Jepsen 2011)

Q

How can lateral canals impact periodontal health and vic versa?

A

According to Armitage 1999
Canals exposed to periodontal disease can cause “idopathic pulpitis”
