Development and validation of a single latent variable self-reported periodontal disease scale based on the disease’s common signs and symptoms in Saudi adults
This study developed and validated a 10-item self-reported periodontal disease screening tool based on its signs and symptoms in Saudi adults. The self-reported periodontal disease was significantly associated with older age, lower parents' socioeconomic status, irregular brushing, and lack of regular dental visits.
