This study was conducted to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of a sample of Australian dentate adults with chronic conditions and to ascertain the associations of chronic conditions with tooth loss, dental caries and periodontal disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were drawn from the National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) 2017\u201318, which included a random sample of Australians aged 15+\u2009years. NSAOH used online\/telephone interviews to elicit self\u2010reported information, including sociodemographic characteristics, and oral examinations to collect clinical data. Information on chronic conditions was collected in the pre\u2010examination questionnaire. Clinical information was ascertained in 5022 dentate adults.

Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (mean number of missing teeth\u2009=\u200911.5 [95% CI\u2009=\u20098.3, 14.7]) and kidney disease (mean number of missing teeth\u2009=\u200911.3 [95% CI\u2009=\u20098.5, 14.1]) had higher tooth loss whereas dental caries experience was higher in people with heart disease (mean number of decayed tooth surfaces [DS]\u2009=\u20092.5 [95% CI\u2009=\u20091.2, 3.7]) and depression (mean number of DS\u2009=\u20092.3 [95% CI\u2009=\u20091.4, 3.3]). Gingivitis was more prevalent in individuals with diabetes (40.1% [95% CI\u2009=\u200931.5, 49.4]) and high blood pressure (33.9% [95% CI\u2009=\u200929.3, 38.9]) while adults with heart disease (59.1% [95% CI\u2009=\u200939.3, 76.3]) and cancer (56.7% [95% CI\u2009=\u200943.2, 69.3]) had higher levels of periodontitis.
