What is the difference between dental plaque and materia Alba?

I think materia alba is a layer of organic waste (eg desquamated epithelium, blood cells, macrophages) as well as food that forms on top of the plaque layer. It can become calcified and form calculus (aka tartar, aka materia ultima).
Its what comes after plaque (aka biofilm) has been formed on the tooth surface and precedes calculus.
