A case is presented in which an unusual amount of intraoral calculus was seen in a 59-year-old woman. The deposits completely covered all surfaces of most teeth and extended over the facial and lingual gingivae. The relationship between certain chemical salivary parameters and heavy calculus formers is briefly described.
