The relationship between body mass index and periodontitis in the Copenhagen City Heart Study
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

The present study analyzed the association between overweight/obesity and periodontitis assessed as clinical attachment loss (AL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in a cross-sectional design.
