Objective: To analyze the differences in periodontal severity between perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with chronic periodontitis. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study with 63 subjects, comprising 27 perimenopausal and 36 postmenopausal women, aged 45-59 years, was conducted in East Jakarta. The women were interviewed regarding their perimenopausal and postmenopausal status; they underwent a periodontal examination for periodontal pockets, attachment loss, gingival recession, plaque index, debris index, calculus index, oral hygiene index, papilla bleeding index, and tooth mobility. Independent T-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for bivariate analysis. Results: There were significant differences (p<0.05) in age between perimenopausal and postmenopausal women (p=0.01); however, no significant differences (p>0.05) in gingival recession (p=0.33) or tooth mobility (p=0.84) were observed. Independent t-test revealed no significant differences in pocket depth (p=0.95), attachment loss (p=0.71), plaque index (p=0.89), debris index (p=0.52), calculus index (p=0.46), oral hygiene index (p=0.48), or papilla bleeding index (p=0.63) between perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Conclusion: There was no difference in periodontal severity between perimenopausal and postmenopausal women; however, the current study obtained valuable information regarding periodontal severity in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.

To measure the level of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Material and Methods: A total of 158 patients aged >45 years were examined for periodontitis and interviewed regarding their menopausal status. The non-menopause group entailed female patients with periodontitis without menopause (n=23). The menopause group included females who stopped menstruating since >1 year, had a pocket depth of 4-5 mm, and did not have other systemic conditions (n=40). Samples were selected based on periodontal and menopausal status. In total, 63 samples of GCF were collected from the participants and tested using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for IgG. Results: The median level of IgG in the menopause group was 39.50 mg/mL, whereas that of the nonmenopause group was 41.08 mg/mL. There was a positive correlation between the plaque index and IgG level in both groups. In contrast, there was a negative correlation between age and IgG level. However, there was no correlation between plaque index and age regarding the IgG level in both groups (p>0.05). Conclusion:The IgG levels in the menopause group were lower than those in the non-menopause group. As such, menopausal females should take great care of their overall health, including the periodontium.

“…In a study conducted by Deepa et al in 2016, among 90 postmenopausal women with a mean age of 55 years, 11 patients exhibited initial periodontal disease, 34 had established periodontal disease and 30 subjects had terminal periodontal disease. All the subjects exhibited a significantly high PI and this was attributed to the lack of awareness and absence of proper oral hygiene practices [16] . The GI is consistent with the PI of the healthy and chronic periodontitis groups.…”

Introduction: Menopause is the period when there is cessation of ovarian secretion of estrogen and progesterone. As a woman attains menopause, there is rapid bone loss which is believed to average approximately 2% to 3% over the following 5 to 10 years, and is greatest in the early post-menopausal years. A crucial regulator of reproductive physiology expressed by gonadotrophs in the anterior pituitary is follicle stimulating hormone which plays a critical role in modulating pro-inflammatory mediators and increases the risk of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women by causing osteoclast differentiation. Materials & Methods: 60 postmenopausal women were selected who were aged between 45 and 65 years were divided into two groups: -Group I: 30 postmenopausal women (aged between 45-54 years) Group II: 30 postmenopausal women (aged between 55-56 years) Each of the above groups were further divided into two subgroups i.e., 15 healthy subjects and 15 subjects with chronic periodontitis. Serum FSH was estimated using the chemiluminescence technique after collection of blood from the anterior cubital vein and clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, probing depth and clinical attachment loss were assessed for each patient. Intraoral periapical radiographs were taken of three different intraoral sites i.e., 11 & 21, 36 & 37 and 46 & 47. Results: The results that there was an overall non-significant negative correlation between serum follicle stimulating hormone and periodontal parameters in the age group of 45-54 years of post-menopausal women. Conclusion:The present study suggests that postmenopausal women with chronic periodontitis had a lower FSH level as compared to healthy subjects suggesting that FSH level does not directly correlate with the severity of periodontal disease or alveolar bone loss and increasing age alone can be a determinant of periodontal disease.
