3 basic steps for calc formation
1) pellicle forms
2) biofilm forms
3) mineralization

12 days
All are ways for manner calc attach except
Pyrophosphate
Tenacious membranous layer amorphous, acellular, and organic forms over tooth
Acquired pellicle
Crystalline material of bones an teeth with calcium and phosphate
Apatite
Plays major role in dental caries and perio
Microbial biofilm
Disease of dental calcified structures characterized by demineralization
Dental caries
Dental calcified structures consist of

One lesion of particular type w/distinct margin
Single
Discrete, not running together; may be arranged in clusters
Multiple separate
Involves most of an area
Generalized
Use of fingers and thumb of each hand simultaneously
Bimanual
