Periodontal status was classified using the 2018 periodontal classification. Participants completed a 10-item questionnaire on IB use and perceived barriers.

Patients with Stage III-IV periodontitis had higher odds of daily IB use (OR=3.11, 95% CI 1.88\u20135.15, p&lt;.001). Higher income and older age were positively associated with IB use, while current smoking was a strong negative predictor (OR=0.31, 95% CI 0.15\u20130.67).
