We aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis in the upper jaw and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) using the nationwide Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. In this cross-sectional study, data of KNHANES participants enrolled between 2008 and 2012 were reviewed. Periodontitis of the upper teeth was diagnosed by dentists according to the community periodontal index with standardized methods. CRS was diagnosed by otorhinolaryngologists according to the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 with nasal endoscopy findings. We also evaluated the association between periodontitis and CRS according to smoking and drinking status. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Overall, 28,761 participants were eligible for analysis, and 210 were diagnosed with CRS. Periodontitis was associated with CRS diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.391, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.013-1.912). Non-drinkers showed no significant association between periodontitis and CRS (OR = 1.142, 95% CI 0.746-1.749). However, among drinkers, periodontitis was significantly associated with CRS (OR = 1.733, 95% CI 1.091-2.753). The number of smokers with CRS was not statistically sufficient and a logistic regression model based on smoking status could not be generated. Individuals with periodontitis in the upper jaw may need to consult an otorhinolaryngologist for comorbid CRS especially according to drinking status.
