Chronic cholecystitis is a persistent inflammation of walls, occurred after the formation of calculus within the bladder (gallstones) or biliary (liver channel and channel common bile duct).
Supragingival refers to calculus deposits above the gum, and subgingival to tartar deposits below the gum.
Both ultrasonic and manual instruments are used to remove calculus. The ultrasonic device vibrates at a high frequency and helps loosen and remove tartar. A high-pressure water spray is then used to flush out the debris.
Acute cholecystitis is usually caused by obstruction of the outlet of the gallbladder, which is often due to the development of a stone formed in the biliary tract (gallstone or biliary calculus).

Plaque that is not removed can cause problems, and a rough, porous deposit called calculus, or tartar, may also form. Tartar can only be removed when your teeth are cleaned in the dental office.
Some toothpastes offer tartar control pyrophosphates to prevent the build-up of soft calculus deposits on teeth, while others offer whitening formulas to safely remove stains making teeth brighter and shinier.
When plaque builds up and hardens into tartar (also known as calculus) the bone structures around the teeth become affected.

The cause of gallstones varies. There are two main types of gallstones: ...
Plaque that stays on your teeth longer than two or three days can harden under your gumline into tartar (calculus), a white substance that makes plaque more difficult to remove and that acts as a reservoir for bacteria.
If plaque from teeth and gums isn't removed by good daily dental care, over time it will harden into a crust called calculus or tartar. Once tartar forms, it starts to destroy gum tissue, causing gums to bleed and pull away from the teeth.
Bacteria on your teeth - along with minerals in your saliva - form tartar (calculus), providing an environment for additional bacteria to accumulate and irritate your gums.
Deposits of plaque and calculus may be visible at the base of the teeth, with enlarged pockets in the gums. The gums are usually painless or mildly tender, unless a tooth abscess is also present. Teeth may be loose and gums may be receded.
Gingivitis is often caused by inadequate oral hygiene and is reversible through professional cleaning to remove calculus and good oral home care to remove plaque and prevent the buildup of calculus.

Tartar (also called calculus) is plaque that has absorbed minerals from saliva and calcified. It is as hard as limestone and forms in layers. Tartar can eventually separate the tooth from its attachments to bone and gum tissue.
In severe cases, the stones fill the middle of the kidney, causing a large stone known as a 'staghorn calculus' because of its shape.
If gingivitis is not treated, the gums begin to pull away from your teeth, leaving a little pocket around the tooth. This pocket traps plaque that you can't reach with a toothbrush. Over time, plaque hardens to tartar (calculus).
At some point, this plaque hardens and has to be scraped off the teeth. In the early stages, it can be brushed and flossed off the teeth but once it has set and formed tartar or calculus, it must be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist.
Squamous cell cancer of the urinary tract constitutes less than 15% of the tumors of the renal pelvis and a smaller percentage of ureteral tumors and is often associated with chronic calculus disease and infection.
