Carbohydrates is a biological molecule consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atom, with a hydrogen: oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and an empirical formula of Cm(H2O)n. Carbohydrates can be viewed as hydrates of carbon, hence their name. Structurally however, it is more accurate to view them as polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones. Historically […]
Tartar or Calculus is a form of hardened dental plague. It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in plague on the teeth. This process of precipitation kills the bacterial cells within dental plague, but the rough and hardened surface that is formed provides an ideal surface for further […]
