Abstract
To evaluate the association between systemic osteoporosis and periodontal diseases in postmenopausal women. A total of 300 women aged (50-70 years) were divided into an osteoporotic (OP) group (n = 150) and non-osteoporotic (NOP) group (n = 150) depending on BMD measured using (DXA) at the femoral neck and lumbar spine. Periodontal examination including PI, GI, PPD, and CAL was measured. A standard digital dental panoramic radiograph was taken for each patient and analyzed using specially developed software graphic program to assess the alveolar bone level and BMD. Elemental analysis of root surfaces of extracted teeth was done for detecting Ca, P, F, Mg, and K using (LIBS). Results showed the differences between both groups were not statistically significant in PI, GI, and PPD. A statistically significant difference was found between both groups in CAL, the distance between CEJ-AC and alveolar bone density. Elemental analysis of the root surfaces revealed that Ca was statistically significantly less in the OP group while the differences between both groups regarding F and P were not statistically significant. Mg and K found to be significantly more in the OP group than in the NOP group. To conclude osteoporosis is certainly a risk factor for periodontal disease and seems to plays a vital role in disease progression.
