Abstract
Numerous investigations have been carried out in attempt to inhibit calculus formation. Many
different materials and methods have been utilized for this purpose.
This investigation was designed to test the
effect of a material which had been used before
(sodium hexametaphosphate); however, in our study
this material for the first time was combined with
magnesium chloride to prevent the tooth from being
affected. The sodium hexametaphosphate action,
therefore, was restricted to the forming calculus.
The product tested was a significant adjunct
in controlling calculus formation; however, it showed
no effect on the rate or amount of dental plaque
formed
