Background: The aim of the study was to compare the periodontal status among pre menopausal and post menopausal women. Methods: A total population of 100 women of age group 45-55 years visiting the Department of Periodontology,VMSDC, Salem, were taken and divided into two groups-pre and postmenopausal. All patients were evaluated for plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD),and clinical attachment loss(CAL). Results: The prevalence of periodontitis was significantly greater among postmenopausal women than among premenopausal women. Statistical analysis of data were carried out using mean ± standard deviation (SD), p -value, t -test between two groups; premenopausal and postmenopausal. For PI, GI, PPD and CAL, we found a highly significant difference p< 0.001 between two groups. Conclusion: Postmenopausal women had a greater chance of having periodontitis than premenopausal women.

In dentistry, traumatic injuries are most common in the anterior teeth due to its anatomic position. The various treatment modalities have been used depending on the extent of injury on teeth and supporting structures. Esthetic concerns are the most important challenges in modern dental practice. Adhesive dentistry is an excellent approach regarding esthetics, especially for fractured anterior teeth. This case report describes the successful treatment of reattachment procedure in a 17-year-old male patient presented with a fractured maxillary left central incisor.
