Association of periodontal disease with cardiac calcium. Box plots of cardiac calcium score across different degrees of periodontal disease. Categories for periodontal disease are based on the periodontal score (0–4 scale) as follows: healthy (0 to 1), mild (>1 to 2), moderate (>2 to 3), and severe (>3). Boxes as shown represent the interquartile ranges.
