Calcium concentration in human in-situ whole dental biofilm
Species, exposure, manipulation and limitations are specified on each linked claim.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Repeated sucrose exposure lowered calcium concentration in whole in-situ dental biofilm relative to water.
Experimental context and source evidence
- dose
- Sucrose or glucose+fructose solution 8 times/day versus water; concentration and sample size unrecovered
- duration
- 14 days; 24-hour carbohydrate withdrawal follow-up
- evidence_access
- Primary abstract/metadata; unrecovered methods explicitly retained.
- evidence_scope
- literature_reviewed; source-specific curation
- experimental_model
- Human volunteers wearing enamel blocks in palatal appliances
- exposure_scope
- Sucrose and local mineral availability
- limitations
- Local biofilm calcium, phosphate and fluoride pools are not systemic nutrient status. Whole-biofilm and fluid results differ; no dietary calcium-deficiency inference.
- nutrient_topic
- Sucrose chapter; direct sucrose observations are distinguished from shared component metabolism. · Sucrose
