## Objectives: To externally validate a model for medication-related dental outcomes in (a) a general older population with dementia and (b) a matched population without dementia. ## Subjects and methods: This validation study used population-based data from seven swedish national registers (2008-2017). individuals aged 60+ with dementia were matched to those without dementia on age, gender, and county of residence at the date of diagnosis (index date). the exposure was continuous use of xerogenic medications during the 3-year period before index date. the primary outcome was the number of tooth extraction and restorative procedures within 3 years after index date. ## Results: A total of 334,220 individuals were included in the final sample. in the dementia cohort, the use of urological drugs (incidence rate ratio [irr] 1.08, 95% ci 1.03-1.13), respiratory medicines (irr 1.10, 95% ci 1.04-1.17), and proton-pump inhibitors (irr 1.09, 95% ci 1.05-1.13) was associated with the primary outcome. in the non-dementia cohort, respiratory medicines (irr 1.03, ci 1.00-1.05), proton-pump inhibitors (irr 1.06, ci 1.04-1.08), opioids (irr 1.05, ci 1.03-1.07), and antidepressants (irr 1.06, ci 1
