Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Menopause is characterized by major physiological and concomitant psychological changes. The study aimed to evaluate the association between oral health parameters, bone mineral density (BMD) and physiological or psychological symptoms in post-menopausal women (PMW), compared with regularly menstruating women (RMW). Inflammatory biomarker levels in gingival crevicular fluid, saliva, serum and determination of microbial niches in subgingival plaque samples were further aimed. The participants were asked to complete the Women's Health Questionnaire to measure emotional and physical well-being.

A total of 148 women (PMW, n=76,RMW, n=72) received a comprehensive medical assessment and a full-mouth oral examination. The corresponding bone mineral density (BMD) and body mass indices (BMI) were obtained from their medical records.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Post-menopausal women

Periodontal clinical examination and gingival crevicular fluid, saliva, dental plaque, serum sampling

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Probing pocket depth was defined as the distance in millimeters from the gingival margin to the base of the gingival sulcus measured using a manual probe (Michigan 0 probe with Williams Markings) in all the teeth present except for third molars. Similarly, clinical attachment level (CAL) was measured as distance from cementoenamel junction to the base of pocket and recorded manually to the nearest millimeter marking on probe.

1 mililiter of saliva was obtained by each participant. Subgingival dental plaque was collected with sterile endodontic paperpoints from mesial sides of each natural teeth without a prostethic restoration. Gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected with absorbent paper strips. Serum samples were also collected at the time of visit.
