Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between residual teeth and consumption habits of different types of tea (green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and...

Objective: To investigate the relationship between body mass index and periodontal diseases by conducting a comprehensive survey to assess daily eating habits and self-care of oral hygiene. Material and Methods: We recruited 357 patients from the outpatient clinic of the Periodontology Department at Baskent University Hospital. All the patients completed a comprehensive survey after their periodontological examination. The questionnaire asked about their daily eating habits and oral hygiene self-care during the last six months. Results: Patients with periodontitis had higher body-mass-index (BMI) than those with gingivitis (26.9 ± 4.3 kg/m² vs 24.7 ± 3.8 kg/m², respectively, p=0.000). The periodontitis group had higher tea consumers than those with gingivitis (46,7% vs. 30,3%, respectively, p=0.001). The group with gingivitis had higher coffee consumers than those with periodontitis (17.7% vs 3.8 %, respectively, p=0.000). There were more diabetic patients in the periodontitis group (10.9% vs. 2.9%, respectively, p=0.003). The percentage of cases with periodontitis was 71.4% in obese patients. The frequency of periodontitis was significantly correlated with the BMI (Pearson correlation 0.2229, p=0.000). Conclusion: Individuals with a higher BMI were more likely to have periodontitis, consume more tea, and have diabetes.
