  1. *p < 0.05 Nagelkerke R2 : 0.372 (%71.1)
  2. DMFT/S: decayed, missing and filled permanent teeth/surfaces; dmft/s: decayed, missing, and filled primary teeth/surfaces
  3. In the multivariate logistic model DMFT, DMFS, dmfs, plaque index and pH parameters were found influential to H.pylori (16S + 23S rRNA) presence in dental biofilm
