Oral conditions and treatment need between patients with heart diseases (total cohort including HF, HTx and LVAD at baseline) and the healthy comparison group.
| Parameter | Total Cohort Heart Diseases (n = 88) | HC (n = 88) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-T (mv ± sd) | 0.4 ± 1.5 | 0.7 ± 1.24 | 0.37 |
| M-T (mv ± sd) | 10.7 ± 9.0 | 3.2 ± 2.9 | <0.01 |
| F-T (mv ± sd) | 7.2 ± 5.2 | 14.8 ± 4.8 | <0.01 |
| DMF-T (mv ± sd) | 18.3 ± 6.8 | 18.7 ± 5.2 | 0.56 |
| dental treatment need % | 16% | 31% | 0.19 |
| periodontal treatment need % | 91% | 87% | 0.69 |
mv: mean value, sd: standard deviation, D-T: number of decayed teeth, M-T: number of missing teeth, F-T: number of filled teeth, DMF-T: decayed-, missing- and filled-teeth index, significant values are highlighted in bold.
