The associations between oral care habits and periodontitis were also assessed. Results: A total of 50 studies were eligible; 15 were used for pooling the effect of fair OH versus good OH and poor OH versus good OH on periodontitis, with pooled odds ratios (ORs) of 2.04 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.65-2.53] and 5.01 (95% CI: 3.40-7.39), respectively. Eleven studies examined oral care habits measured according to toothbrushing regularity and dental visit frequency; pooled ORs of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.47-0.94) and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.47-0.98) were obtained, respectively. Conclusions: Fair to poor OH increases the risk of periodontitis by two- to five-fold. This risk can be reduced by regular toothbrushing and dental visits.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:45:15 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13721 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:22:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29569 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:53 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41525 Fri 05 Aug 2022 12:38:22 AEST ]]>
