Fibromyalgia and periodontitis: Bidirectional associations in population-based 15-year retrospective cohorts.

Patients of both sexes and all age subgroups with periodontitis presented with a greater risk of fibromyalgia. Subgroups that were the most susceptible to periodontitis-associated fibromyalgia were periodontitis patients that were males and below 30 years old. Risks of periodontitis were also greater in fibromyalgia patients who never had periodontitis.
