慢性牙周炎的急性期甚至可能发生在牙周支持治疗的患者中。然而，细节还不完全清楚。由于自然环境，包括气象影响人类健康，我们假设天气条件可能会影响慢性牙周炎急性期的发生。本研究的目的是探讨天气条件与牙周支持治疗患者慢性牙周炎急性期的关系。选择2011-2013年期间诊断为慢性牙周炎急性期并接受牙周支持治疗的患者作为研究对象。我们进行了口头检查，并收集了问卷调查和气象数据。在369例慢性牙周炎急性期患者中，153例慢性牙周炎急性期无直接触发发作。当使用时间序列分析的自回归积分移动平均模型时，气压的最大小时范围、温度的最大小时范围和最大日风速的独立协变量与慢性牙周炎急性期的发生显著相关（p < 0.05），并且在研究期间这些发生的变化中的3.1%由这些因素解释。气象变量可以预测慢性牙周炎急性期的发生。
The acute phase of chronic periodontitis may occur even in patients during supportive periodontal therapy. However, the details are not fully understood. Since the natural environment, including meteorology affects human health, we hypothesized that weather conditions may affect occurrence of acute phase of chronic periodontitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between weather conditions and acute phase of chronic periodontitis in patients under supportive periodontal therapy. Patients who were diagnosed with acute phase of chronic periodontitis under supportive periodontal therapy during 2011–2013 were selected for this study. We performed oral examinations and collected questionnaires and meteorological data. Of 369 patients who experienced acute phase of chronic periodontitis, 153 had acute phase of chronic periodontitis without direct-triggered episodes. When using the autoregressive integrated moving average model of time-series analysis, the independent covariant of maximum hourly range of barometric pressure, maximum hourly range of temperature, and maximum daily wind speed were significantly associated with occurrence of acute phase of chronic periodontitis (p < 0.05), and 3.1% of the variations in these occurrence over the study period were explained by these factors. Meteorological variables may predict occurrence of acute phase of chronic periodontitis.
