Abstract

The author's studies on the blood grouping of dental calculus by the elution technique can produce a very satisfactory result. The results are briefly summarized as follows: 1) In the blood typing with dental calculus obtained from 77 people, it was found that 24 cases out of 26 A group calculus, and 18 cases out of 19 B group, coincided with respective blood groups. From 2 cases of A group calculus and one case of B group calculus gave the results resembling O group. Everyone of 21 cases of O group and 11 cases of AB group, coincided with original known blood groups. 2) Blood groups can be readily identified with small amounts of calculus(2mg) by the elution test.
