Clinical and radiographic periodontal status in hypertensive patients with or without obstructive sleep apnea 10 years after diagnosis and CPAP initiation.

Hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) did not have an adverse clinical periodontal status compared to patients without OSA. However, when combining radiographic and clinical status into periodontal stages, patients without OSA more frequently exhibited periodontal health or gingivitis compared to patients without OSA, regardless of CPAP treatment.
