MODERN METHODS OF RESEARCH OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES IN WOMEN

Abstract

Numerous studies have shown that a decrease in the concentration of estrogen leads to osteoporosis in the bones of the skeleton, which is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and a decrease in its density, which, in turn, may be a risk factor for the progression of periodontal diseases [6,8,7]. According to the research results, the most common dental disease among women during menopause is periodontitis, which, according to some studies, occurs in 80% of women [4,2]. Periodontal diseases, which are the cause of most cases of tooth loss, are a chronic focus of infection that has a negative impact on the health of the body and the quality of life in general. According to most researchers, the most important role in the development of periodontal pathology is assigned to the microbial factor [3.13].
