Association between subgingival periodontal pathogens and the changes in the PISA of the sample sites.
| PISA | ||
|---|---|---|
| Coefficient (95% CI) | p-Value | |
| A. a | −0.221 (−1.054–0.612) | 0.602 |
| P. g | 0.033 (0.022–0.044) | <0.001 |
| P. i | 0.116 (0.024–0.208) | 0.014 |
| Time | 0.033 (−0.010–0.077) | 0.130 |
| Intercept | 2.847 (2.377–3.070) | <0.001 |
Fitness index: For PISA, AICC: 734, BIC: 741; CAL: Clinical attachment level, A. a: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, P. g: Porphyromonas gingivalis, P. i: Prevotella intermedia, CI: Confidence interval. AICC = − 2 L + 2 k (k − 1)/(n – k − 1), BIC = −2 L + k ln (n). L: Likelihood; k: Number of parameters; n: Sample size.
