Plaque minerals and caries experience: associations and interrelationships.
Inverse associations were demonstrated between DMFT and total calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, strontium, potassium, and fluoride concentrations in individual plaques. Lithium, strontium, fluoride, and zinc contents were inversely related to plaque mass. Consistent interdependence patterns between elements indicate the operation of a mineral level regulating mechanism, effective under diverse environmental conditions.

Betal chewing and caries experience in New Guinea.
The prevalence of dental caries and variables relating to the betel-chewing habit were examined in a sample of 301 rural New Guineans aged 12--24 years. Consistent inverse associations were demonstrated between caries experience and the intensity of betel chewing for individuals and aggregates of subjects. The results indicate that betel chewing confers a degree of protection against caries.
