Significant coefficients after Spearman test. Only variables abutting almost one significant correlation are reported. FMPS: full-mouth plaque score; FMBS: full-mouth bleeding score; PSR: periodontal screening and recording; PRA: periodontal risk assessment. I: check-I; II: check-II; III: check-III; n.s.: not significant.
