ABSTRACT
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:
