Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients appear to have an increased risk of developing dental disease. This study aimed to evaluate the status of the dental caries, oral hygiene and periodontal health among a group of Chinese PD patients with different disease severity. A total of 424 PD patients were enrolled in the study. The Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and Modified Hoehn and Yahr scale (HY) were used to assess PD symptoms and severity. The Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth index (DMFT), Community Periodontal Index for Treatment Needs (CPITN) and Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) were used to assess dental status. Multiple linear, binary logistic and ordinal logistic regression estimated the association between PD parameters and dental parameters. More advanced PD stage was associated with worse periodontal health (β = 0. 771, p
