All analyses are adjusted for age, years of education, and daily smoking. 95% CI refers to 95% confidence interval; HR: hazard ratio; OI = TE and/or PI, group = stratified groups of numbers of extractions of any cause: 1 = 0-1, 2 = 2–4, 3 = 5–8, 4 = 9–31, 5 = 32, quartiles = analyses by quartile values of hs-CRP.
