Association between diet and periodontitis: a cross-sectional study of 10,000 NHANES participants.

CONCLUSIONS: Most dietary patterns identified were not associated with periodontitis extent. One pattern, however, rich in salad, fruit, and vegetables and with plain water or tea to drink, was associated with lower CAL extent. Treelet transformation may be a useful approach for calculating dietary patterns in nutrition research. PMID: 33096553 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
