Objectives: The influence of sex steroid hormones on periodontium can be knockdown with good plaque control. The aim of thepresent study was to evaluate periodontal status in pre- and postmenopausal women with periodontitis following non-surgicaltherapy.
Methods: Total 60 female patients’ periodontal status was measured by periodontal index (PRI), and oral hygiene status wasmeasured by plaque index (PI). Both the parameters were measured at baseline i.e. before scaling and root planing and after 3months intervals post treatment. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: The mean PRI scores in premenopausal group were 5.68 ± 0.64 and 2.53 ± 0.13, and PI scores were 1.84 ± 0.17 and 0.91± 0.13 respectively at baseline and 3 months. The mean PRI scores in postmenopausal group were 6.08 ± 0.46 and 2.55 ± 0.12,and PI scores were 1.86 ± 0.24 and 1.00 ± 0.24 respectively at baseline and 3 months.
Conclusions: There was more desirable response to non-surgical periodontal therapy in both the groups but not significantvariation in between two groups. (J Menopausal Med 2017;23:202-209)
