Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Studies of oral health in psoriasis patients are limited. The aim was to assess the experience and risk of caries and periodontal disease in psoriatics and non-psoriatics. Material and Methods: The material consisted of 89 individuals with mild to moderate chronic plaque psoriasis and 54 non-psoriatics, recruited at the University Hospital in Gothenburg. Psoriasis arthritis was diagnosed in 25 of the psoriatics. All participants answered questionnaires and were subjected to saliva sampling and oral radiological and clinical examinations. Two computer applications were used for illustration of oral disease risk profiles. Results: Psoriatics had lower salivary pH, fewer remaining teeth, fewer sites with probing pocket depth ≤4 mm and a lower radiographic alveolar bone level than non-psoriatics (p<0.05). Most of the differences remained significant after controlling for confounders. Differences in alveolar bone levels were no longer significant, particularly after introducing "gender" into the regression model. Similar numbers of decayed and filled teeth, sites with deep pockets, sites that bled on probing and risk profiles were observed. Individuals with psoriasis arthritis exhibited a lower stimulated salivary secretion rate than non-psoriatics (p<0.05). Conclusions: There were no differences in profiles of caries and periodontal disease experience and risk between individuals with and without psoriasis. Fewer remaining teeth were observed in psoriatics. However, the exact reason for tooth loss could not be identified. Meanwhile, the reduced salivary pH in psoriatics and salivary secretion in psoriasis arthritis individuals, may pose a risk for future caries.
