Association between blood lead and periodontitis among American adults: a cross-sectional study of the national health and nutrition examination survey
Blood lead levels are positively associated with periodontitis. Blood lead levels increased by five units and were associated with an increase in moderate and severe periodontitis risk by 36%. There is a curvilinear relationship between blood lead and periodontitis with a threshold effect and an inflection point of approximately 2.7 ug/L.
