	Pioneer plaque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The plaque shows the figures of a man and a woman along with several symbols that are designed to provide information about the origin of the spacecraft.
		The plaque is attached to the antenna support struts in a position that shields it from erosion by stellar dust.
		The first plaque was launched with Pioneer 10 on March 2, 1972, and the second followed with Pioneer 11 on April 5, 1972.

	Microbiology of Dental Plaque (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-04)
		Plaque is classified as supragingival or subgingival based on its relationship to the gingival margin.
		After the initial colonization of the tooth surface, plaque increases by two distinct mechanisms: 1) the multiplication of bacteria already attached to the tooth surface, and 2) the subsequent attachment and multiplication of new bacterial species to cells of bacteria already present in the plaque mass.
		The overall pattern observed in dental plaque development is a very characteristic shift from the early predominance of Gram-positive facultative microorganisms to the later predominance of Gram-negative anaerobic microorganisms, as the plaque mass accumulates and matures.

	Plaque & Calculus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-04)
		Plaque and calculus are two different types of deposits that are found on tooth surfaces.
		Both plaque and calculus are implicated in the development of the inflammatory diseases of the gingiva and periodontium, namely gingivitis and periodontitis.
		Today, we know that plaque is the etiologic or causative agent in gingivitis and periodontitis and that calculus is a contributing factor in that it favors plaque accumulation and hinders its removal.

		Plaque is a substance comprised of cholesterol, minerals, and other deposits that build up inside the lining of the coronary arteries.
		The plaque buildup and related spasm of the clogged arteries restrict the flow of oxygen carrying blood to the heart muscle.
		Plaque not only builds up on the inside of the artery, but cholesterol-filled plaques grow into the wall of the artery.

	Plaque and Calculus
		Plaque is a clear, sticky deposit of of bacteria that adheres to the surface of teeth and gum tissue.
		For this reason, certain types of plaque are associated with dental decay, others with calculus formation, and others with the inflammatory response of the gums (gingivitis).
		One of the prime areas in which plaque accumulates is at the gingival margin and sulcus where the tooth meets the gum.

	Plaque (artery)
		Plaque is a buildup of cholesterol, white blood cells, calcium, and other substances in the walls of arteries.
		Plaque in the large artery in the neck (carotid artery stenosis) may block blood flow to the brain and is a common cause of transient ischemic attacks (sometimes called "mini-strokes").
		Plaques are covered with a fibrous cap, which may rupture if some trigger causes a surge in blood pressure or causes the artery to constrict.

	Health Studies Institute/Calculus & Plaque Removal
		One of the most critical aspects of successful plaque removal and disease control is comprehension by the patient of the role of plaque and, equally important, its appearance.
		Educating the patient on the clinical appearance and location of plaque is as essential to preventing and treating periodontal diseases as the mechanical or chemical debridement techniques the patient uses.
		The use of plaque disclosants will enable the patient to determine the effectiveness of their plaque control, illustrating how much plaque is on the teeth and where it is located.

		Plaque forms especially at the gum margins and in the interdental spaces - in other words, in those places that can hardly be reached with a toothbrush.
		Plaque removal should be carried out with fluoride-containing preparations to start repair of the initial damage immediately and prevent further damage.
		Particular attention should be paid to the fact that frequent sweet between-meal snacks damage the teeth: the constant supply of sugar "feeds" the bacteria without a break, these produce acids all the time and the teeth no longer have the chance to recover or remineralise.

	Dental Plaque (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-04)
		The bone does not hold the teeth in place, rather, the teeth are stabilized by connective tissue called periodontal ligaments that extend between tooth-roots and sockets.
		The part of the tooth next to the sulcus is extremely difficult to keep free of bacterial plaque, and if not removed constantly, or left undisturbed for a few days, will form tartar - a rough, hard material that adheres to teeth.
		Plaque and tartar build-up constitute the primary cause of periodontal disease.

		In fact, vulnerable plaque may be buried inside the artery wall and may not always bulge out and block the blood flow through the artery.
		They also found that vulnerable plaque was more than just debris that clogs an artery, but that it was filled with different cell types that help with blood clotting.
		Not all vulnerable plaque ruptures, and researchers at the Texas Heart Institute are looking at ways to determine which vulnerable plaques are most likely to rupture.
