  1. *p < 0.05 Nagelkerke R2: 0.384 (%71.2)
  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; DMFS, dmft/s, gingival index and pH parameters were also found influential to H.pylori (16S + 23S rRNA) presence in saliva
