Differences in mean sextant of healthy periodontium, bleeding and calculus among cognitive group were found to be significant. Highly statistical significant association was found between CPI codes and the only executive domains of SAGE test, Conclusion Across the spectrum of cognitive status as scores got lower individuals? periodontal health got worse.
