In the menopause phase, a fluctuating hormone level is observed which causes an estrogen deficiency. During this phase, increased severity of periodontal disease and decreased bone mineral density has been observed. Periodontitis is a progressive condition leading to irreversible loss of bone and periodontal ligament attachment. Post menopausal women have a higher rate, net loss of alveolar bone density. Few treatments have come to be known due to its severity of periodontal disease. Hormonal therapy is a Bisphosphonates drug therapy used to control the hormonal fluctuations. This retrospective study was conducted under a hospital based university setting. Ethical approval for this study was granted by the institute’s ethical committee (ethical approval number: SDC/SIHEC/2020/DIASDATA/0619-0320). Consent to use treatment records for research purposes were obtained from patients at the time of patient entry into the university for dental needs. The retrospective data were collected by obtaining and analysing the 89000 dental case records of the university from June 2019 to March 2020. The primary cause of periodontitis is a bacterial plaque, in which estrogen hormone deficiency is one of the factors that contribute to periodontal damage. In the present study, no difference was found in periodontal severity between perimenopausal and postmenopausal women; however, the present study obtained valuable information regarding periodontal severity in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. The sample size that was taken are 63 women patients with a history of non systemic disease, who came to the private dental institute for consultation. The inclusion criteria for the current study were patients with a pre and post menopause women, complete photographic and written records regarding the complete intra-oral examination of the patient. The exclusion criteria were incomplete data, censored dental records and absence of photographic evidence.
