Abstract
Chronic periodontitis has been suggested to be a risk factor for psoriasis in previous studies; however, association with all stages of periodontal disease including gingivitis and periodontitis has yet to be confirmed. Using database provided by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS), medical records of individuals who received both general medical and oral check-ups under National Health Screening Program (NHSP) during 2002∼2007 were reviewed. Patients with periodontal disease (n = 3,682,468) and without periodontal disease (control, n = 3,637,128) according to oral examination results were analyzed for subsequent diagnosis of psoriasis until the end of 2018.
