Fig. 2From: Salivary metabolites associated with a 5-year tooth loss identified in a population-based settingPoint estimates (β) comparison from regression models for selected dental variables between SHIP-2 and SHIP-Trend [16]. The selected variables include the mean PPD, cumPPD4+, PPD 3+mm%, PPD 4+mm%, MT count, and plaque. PPD, pocket probing depth; PPD 3+mm% and 4+mm%, percentages of sites with PPD ≥3 mm and ≥4 mm; cumPPD4+, cumulative PPD from pockets with PPD ≥4 mm; MT, missing teethBack to article page
