We selected persons who regularly visited the dentist in 2015\u20132016 with incident and lasting need for long-term home care from 2017 on. We compared persons who discontinued dental care (DDC group) with those who continued to regularly visit the dentist (CDC group) regarding the occurrence of several systemic diseases.
