The difference in alveolar bone loss was of borderline significance ( P = 0.051), although “no bone loss” was less frequent in CIS patients than in controls (73.1% vs. 79.3%).

Further, PIBI, composed of periodontal probing depths, was highly significant in all our models.
LPS/LTA did not differ between CIS patients and controls but displayed an increasing trend with periodontitis severity.
