Association between birth-related factors and periodontitis in women: Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2018.

The findings of this large-scale, nationally representative study suggest that the number of childbirths is associated with the severity of periodontitis. However, the relationship between the number of abortions and miscarriages and periodontitis (CPI ≥ 3) or severe periodontitis (CPI = 4) is not significant.
