Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the impact of periodontitis on specific bone and hormone measurements in postmenopausal women, given the similarities in risk factors for osteoporosis and periodontal disease.
- Forty postmenopausal women were divided into two groups: those with healthy gums and those with periodontitis, with various health indicators assessed.
- The findings showed no significant link between periodontitis and certain bone metrics or hormone levels, suggesting a need for more research on these relationships.
Background: Osteoporosis is a disease that is seen commonly with increasing age. The purpose of this study was to compare the bone quality of pre- and post-menopausal women using the quantitative indices determined by measurements on panoramic radiographs (mental index, inferior and superior panoramic mandibular indices, antegonion index [AGI], and gonion index) and to determine the effects of serum calcium and serum estradiol levels on alveolar bone loss.
Materials And Methods: Sixty female patients in the age group of 25-55 years were included in the study.
