Abstract
In old dental calculus attached to human teeth, the hexahedrally based crystals of whitlockite were frequently formed in the various intra-spaces of calculus deposits and the interface of calculus and the teeth. Thus, we suggest that such crystal depositions cause the maturation of dental calculus to accelerate.
