RESULTS The mean CAL was 0.9 mm higher in the degraded TBS group compared with the normal TBS group. Degraded TBS was associated with severe periodontitis with an adjusted OR of 2.10 (95% CI = 1.03-4.26). The combination of degraded TBS and plaque score ≥80% increased the adjusted OR to 5.71 (95% CI = 1.15-28.43). CONCLUSION Degraded TBS is a…[Read more]
