ABSTRACT
This study aimed to determine if air pollution affected the risk of periodontitis outpatient visits. We collected the records of 56,456 periodontitis outpatient visits in Hefei, China, from January 1ï¼2014 to December 31ï¼2021. The relationship between air pollution and periodontitis outpatient visits was evaluated using distributed lag nonlinear and generalized linear models. Additional analyses were performed, stratifying the data by age, season, and sex. Subgroup analyses showed a significantly higher risk of periodontitis outpatient visits due to NO2 exposure during the warm season compared with the cold season. Moreover, O3 exposure was associated with a lower risk of periodontitis outpatient visits in the cold season. The findings suggest that NO2 exposure is associated with an increased risk of periodontitis outpatient visits, whereas O3 exposure is associated with a decreased risk of periodontitis outpatient visits. Season is found to be an effect modifier in these associations.
