Anticholinergic burden, oral hygiene practices, and oral hygiene status—cross-sectional findings from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966
Abstract Objectives To study the association between anticholinergic burden and oral hygiene practices and oral hygiene status among 46-year-old people. Materials and methods The study included 1945 participants from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966), who had a complete dental status...
