Abstract

•Calcite is not the primary component of canine dental calculus.•Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CAP) is the primary component of canine dental calculus.•Synthetic calculi was grown mimicking inorganic components of canine saliva.•Solutions with 10mMol −HCO3 and 0.6mMol −PO4 concentration 2.6 Ca2+ nucleate CAP.
