Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how different definitions of periodontitis affect its prevalence and connection to risk factors among postpartum women in France.
- A clinical exam was conducted on 932 women shortly after childbirth, examining six distinct definitions for classifying periodontitis based on specific clinical measurements of teeth.
- Results showed that the definition used significantly influenced the reported frequency of periodontitis (from 12.1% to 37.7%) and altered the strength of associations with known risk factors like maternal age and smoking.
