“…Thus the less immunity lead to higher dental caries, missing teeth, gingival inflammation, calculus and plaque deposition also increase pocket depth. (3)(4)(5)(6) The physiological changes in concentrations of sex hormones influences the periodontal status from anatomical, histological and metabolic functions which lead to marked increase in dental caries and periodontal inflammation. (1,12,13) For physical parameters, the reduction in flow rate during postmenopausal period due to sex hormones especially HCG which lead to reduction in a more acidic pH also is related to the effect of progesterone hormone which lead to decrease plasma biocarbonate level during postmenopausal period which increase the susceptibility to oral diseases.…”

To increase the understanding of oral health factors associated with menopause women, this research sought to examine the oral hygiene including clinical parameters (DMFT, gingival, calculus, plaque and pocket depth indices) and physical parameters (flow rate and pH) to show changes in postmenopausal women in Mosul City center in relation to premenopausal women.The sample chosen included 123 women 47 premenopausal and 76 postmenopausal women in age range from 30 -61 years old. Clinical examination was carried out to detected DMFT, gingival, calculus, plaque and pocket depth indices, also measures physical parameters about flow rate and pH of saliva for each women.There was significant changes in the clinical and physical parameters when compared with age 46 -61 years old, at p< 0.05 and highly significant at p< 0.001.Oral health in pre and post menopausal women should be considered as a separate problem from oral diseases. The clinical picture may vary from a localized to generalized inflammation would be of interest to physiologists and endocrinologists and might also prove to be value to the practicing dentists.

“…An increase in emphasis on communication skills should be expected in recognition of behavioral science studies pointing to the importance of the educational role of the health practitioner in promoting patient compliance. [13][14][15][16] The diversity of patient communities in culture and health behaviors and the increasing teamoriented dental practice are additional factors promoting this curriculum change. 17,18 General dentists who treat either underserved populations in community clinics or geriatric patients receiving institutional or home-based care are also finding an increased need to communicate with primary care physicians, social service providers, and home health aides.…”

In 1999 HRSA contracted with the UCLA School of Dentistry to evaluate the impact of federal funding on postgraduate general dentistry programs. Part of that evaluation analyzed curriculum emphasis and preparation of incoming residents in advanced general dentistry programs over a five-year period. Directors of 208 civilian AEGD and GPR programs were surveyed about the curriculum content of their programs, increased or decreased emphasis in thirty subject areas, and resident preparation and quality (GPA and National Board scores). Results indicate that curriculum changes in AEGD and GPR programs over the time period have been responsive to the changing nature of general practice. At least half of all program directors reported that their residents were less than adequately prepared in fourteen curriculum areas. Sub-analyses were conducted for AEGD/GPR programs and HRSA-funded versus nonfunded programs. Multivariate regression identified lower student quality as the most important program variable in predicting a perceived need for resident remediation. Logistic regression showed that programs with higher resident GPA and National Board Part I scores had less difficulty filling resident positions.
