Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 08/04/09
Buencamino MCA et al. – After menopause, women become more susceptible to periodontal disease. The authors believe the problem is due in large part to estrogen deficiency with resulting bone loss and inflammatory processes. Osteoporosis and periodontal disease are best diagnosed early so that treatment can be started sooner and fractures and tooth loss can be prevented. This article reviews the published studies of the association between menopause and periodontal disease, specifically, the effects of hormonal changes, osteoporosis, and bisphosphonate use on the periodontal status of postmenopausal women. The authors will highlight the interrelationship of dental health and postmenopausal health and underscore the need for cross–communication and patient referral between physicians and dentists.
