Better oral hygiene is associated with a reduced risk of osteoporotic fracture: a nationwide cohort study

ConclusionThe study found that poor oral health, such as periodontitis, missing teeth, and dental caries, was associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. Conversely, good oral hygiene behaviors like frequent teeth brushing and dental scaling within 1 year were associated with a reduced risk. Further research is needed to confirm this association.
