Abstract:Objective
Longitudinal studies on the systemic bone loss-periodontitis relationship are limited with disparate results. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and periodontitis progression, controlling for other covariables in a Thai population.
Materials and methods
In 2,418 participants, BMD values of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip were measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiome… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
