Selected were 276 patients over 19 years of age to complete the questionnaire for oral health habit and take QLF images, periapical and panoramic radiographs. Oral health habit score, age, and sex showed a statistically significant correlation with FPI. FPI showed a lower value as the oral health habit score increased and the age decreased. Moreover, females showed lower FPI values than did males. RBL showed a statistically significant positive correlation with age but did not show any correlation with oral health habit scores and sex. There was no correlation between FPI and RBL. The results of this study suggest that the clinical use of QLF allows plaque detection by non-invasive procedures and can aid in a more objective estimation for oral hygiene status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21175774","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T22:58:15Z","timestamp":1630450695000},"page":"5774","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Evaluation of Periodontal Risk Factors with Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence Based Fluorescent Plaque Index, in Comparison to Radiographic and Oral Health Habit Scoring: A Retrospective Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5508-289X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Song Hee","family":"Oh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Graduate School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}]},{"given":"Jin-Young","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Graduate School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}]},{"given":"Sae Rom","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Graduate School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5030-1894","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seong-Hun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Graduate School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"456","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.12732","article-title":"Impact of the global burden of periodontal diseases on health, nutrition and wellbeing of mankind: A call for global action","volume":"44","author":"Tonetti","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
