Background: Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstrual cycles due to the loss of ovarian activity. This phase is characterized by physiological changes, mostly influenced by the decrease of estrogen and progesterone, as well as by the aging of tissues. These changes can involve oral cavity. Postmenopausal women are prone to changes in the oral cavity such as volume, salivary pH and oral conditions such as ulceration, bleeding gums, dry mouth and caries due to hormonal changes. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the differences in volume, salivary pH and oral conditions in menopausal women and non-menopausal women. Method: This study was using an analytic comparative method. The data obtained was secondary data from the results of the Unpad Lecturer Competency Research (RKDU) by taking a convenience sampling of 27 menopausal women and using simple random sampling of 27 non-menopausal women. The volume and salivary pH were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test and the data on the condition of the oral cavity were analyzed using the z-parametric test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in salivary volume (p=0.0016), salivary pH (p=0.0191) and caries (p=0.0142), and there was no significant differences in ulceration conditions (p=0.5), bleeding gums (p=0.0806) and dry mouth (p= 0.2756) in menopausal women and non-menopausal women. Conclusion: There are differences in salivary volume, salivary pH and caries conditions, but there are no differences in ulceration, bleeding gums and dry mouth conditions in menopausal women and non-menopausal women.  Keywords: Menopausal women, Oral changes, Saliva pH, Saliva volume

Menopausal Women

Oral health awareness during the menopausal period is essential to minimize the inevitable inconveniences which may occur due to hormonal changes. The decrease in estrogen hormone concentration impacts the oral mucosa in a similar way to the vaginal mucosa due to the presence of estrogen receptors in both of these structures. An estrogen deficiency also affects the maturation process of the oral mucosal epithelium and can lead to its thinning and atrophy, making it more susceptible to local mechanical injuries, causing a change in pain tolerance and problems in the use of removable prosthetic restorations. Mucosal epithelium during the menopausal period is more vulnerable to infections, candidiasis, burning mouth syndrome, oral lichen planus (OLP), or idiopathic neuropathy. Moreover, salivary glands are also hormone-dependent which leads to changes in saliva secretion and its consistency. In consequence, it may affect teeth and periodontal tissues, resulting in an increased risk of caries and periodontal disease in menopausal women. Due to the large variety of complaints and symptoms occurring in the oral cavity, menopausal women constitute a significant group of patients who should receive special preventive and therapeutic care from doctors and dentists in this particular period.

Abstract: Saliva plays a role in the occurrence of dental caries. The low of buffer capacity and secretion of saliva leads to reduced salivary ability in wash away food particles, deadly micro organisms and neutralize the salivary pH. Changes in the salivary pH is influenced by circadian rhythms, the type of food consumed, stimulation of salivary secretion, salivary flow rate, micro organisms of the oral cavity and salivary buffer capacity. Xylitol is a sweetener similar to polyols that are non-acidogenic and non-cariogenic. Xylitolis difficult to be fermented by bacteria in the oral cavity so can help to increasing the decreases of salivary pH due  the consumption of foods containing carbohydrates. In the field of dentistry, xylitol has been applied in a wide range of products such as chewing gums, lozenges, mouth washes and toothpastes. This study was conducted to determine the salivary pH before brushing teeth with tooth paste containing xylitol, the salivary pHafter brushing teeth with tooth paste containing xylitol and the changes of salivary pH after brushing teeth with tooth paste containing xylitol. The research design used was analytics experimental pretest and posttest design. The population used were 56 students of MA Darul Istiqamah Manado. Sampling was done by using simple random sampling technique with 20 samples were obtained by matched-pair research formula. Saliva collection methodsused werethe spittingmethod. The results showed a change in the salivary pH after brushing teeth with tooth paste containing xylitol. The average value ofthe salivary pH after brushing teeth with tooth paste containing xylitol were 7,18 higher than the average value of the salivary pH before brushing teeth with tooth paste containing xylitol were 6.99. Results of statistical tests of paired-samples t-test showed that there were significant differences (p <0.05) of the salivary pH before and after brushing teeth with tooth paste containing xylitol. Conclution: Xylitol has a role in increasing the salivary pH which helps in inhibiting dental caries. Keywords: salivary pH, brushing teeth, toothpaste containing xylitol.     Abstrak: Saliva berperan dalam proses terjadinya karies gigi. Rendahnya sekresi dan kapasitas bufer saliva menyebabkan berkurangnya kemampuan saliva dalam membersihkan sisa makanan, mematikan mikroorganisme serta menetralkan pH saliva. Perubahan pH saliva dipengaruhi oleh irama sirkadian, jenis makanan yang dikonsumsi, stimulasi sekresi saliva, laju aliran saliva, mikroorganisme rongga mulut dan kapasitas  bufer saliva. Xylitol merupakan sejenis pemanis polyols yang bersifat non-asidogenik dan non-kariogenik. Xylitol sulit untuk difermentasi oleh bakteri dalam rongga mulut sehingga dapat membantu dalam meningkatkan pH saliva yang turun akibat konsumsi makanan yang mengandung karbohidrat. Dalam bidang kedokteran gigi, xylitol telah banyak diaplikasikan dalam berbagai macam produk seperti permen karet, tablet hisap, obat kumur dan pasta gigi. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pH saliva sebelum menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi mengandung xylitol, pH saliva sesudah menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi mengandung xylitol dan perubahan pH saliva sesudah menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi mengandung xylitol. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan yaitu analytic experimental pretest and posttest design. Populasi yang digunakan yaitu siswa MA Darul Istiqamah Manado yang berjumlah 56 orang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik simple random sampling dengan jumlah sampel yang didapatkan yaitu 20 orang berdasarkan rumus penelitian dua populasi berpasangan. Metode pengumpulan saliva yang digunakan yaitu spitting method. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terjadi perubahan pH saliva sesudah menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi mengandung xylitol. Nilai rata-rata pH saliva sesudah menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi mengandung xylitol yaitu 7,18 lebih tinggi dari nilai rata-rata pH saliva sebelum menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi mengandung xylitol yaitu 6,99. Hasil uji statistik paired-samples t-test memperlihatkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna (p<0,05) pH saliva sebelum dan sesudah menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi mengandung xylitol. Simpulan: xylitol memiliki peran dalam meningkatkan pH saliva sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya karies gigi. Kata kunci: pH saliva, menyikat gigi, pasta gigi mengandung xylitol

Purpose: Menopause in women causes problems, including osteoporosis due to hormonal changes. Besides, osteoporosis in postmenopausal women may be associated with musculoskeletal disorders followed by changes in the alignment of the body, especially the spine. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the posture of osteopenic, osteoporotic, and healthy menopausal women. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on postmenopausal women (age range, 45-65 years) referred to the Endocrinology and Rheumatology Clinic of Guilan University of Medical Sciences. Using the purposive sampling method, 90 people were selected as the study sample from this population and divided into three groups of 30 people: osteopenic, osteoporotic, and healthy. Then, the three groups were evaluated for body alignment (forward head, unequal shoulder, rounded shoulder, kyphosis, lordosis, and lower limb alignment). The obtained data were analyzed using ANOVA and the Scheffe Post Hoc test at the significance level of 0.05, in SPSS v. 22. Results: The osteopenic and osteoporotic menopausal women significantly differed from the healthy menopause women in the following measures: forward head angle, curved neck angle, unequal shoulder (P=0.003), kyphosis, lordosis, varus knee, flat foot (P=0.006), and pelvic tilt (P=0.001). Conclusion: According to the results, the decrease in bone density at the osteopenic and osteoporotic levels can affect the postural alignment of the head, shoulders, and neck and the curvature of the spine in postmenopausal women in the three study groups. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the postural evaluation and screening of people prone to osteoporosis, to provide preventive training programs and exercises to improve their physical condition

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a relatively Common reactive exophytic lesion of the oral cavity. The influence of hormones has been suggested as contributory factor in PGCG development and predominance of these lesions in young females as well as some previously reported pregnancy related cases support this belief. It has been observed that majority of lesions present in the 4th decade of life, when hormonal changes are more pronounced. Cailluette and Mattar in their study found that peripheral giant cell granuloma are under the influence of the ovarian hormones. However Chambers and Spector suggested peripheral giant cell granuloma to be enhanced by pregnancy rather than being pregnancy dependent. The responsiveness of gingiva to these hormones along with the immunosuppressive actions of the hormones contributes to the growth of the lesion. Clinically, PGCGs may present as polypoid or nodular lesions, predominantly bluish red with a smooth shiny or mamillated surface.This poster will review the literature available on the association of Massive Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma With Pregnancy with focus on possible causes of PGCG during pregnancy.
