Q

what are the 3 calc formation theories and what do they mean?

A

Co2 theory - new saliva, increased CO2 conc = increased pH = crystallisation
ammonia theory - increased urea = ammonia = increased pH = crystallisation

Q

how is the acquired pellicle protective?

A
  • glycoproteins and calcium phosphate adsorbed onto teeth - increased resistance
