BACKGROUND: Both @entity170 ( @entity170 ) and @entity2521 are chronic inflammatory diseases associated with @entity604 mediated by local and systemic factors. The two diseases share common risk factors. Previous studies have suggested that @entity170 in itself is a predisposing factor for periodontal tissue destruction in postmenopausal @entity1 . However, only a moderate correlation has been shown between the two conditions. In this study, we compared the severity of @entity2520 in @entity3604 @entity1 and postmenopausal @entity1 without @entity170 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study group consisted of 100 postmenopausal @entity1 in the age group of 50-65 years: Group 1 (50 @entity3604 ) and Group 2 (50 non- @entity3604 @entity1 ). Periodontal parameters included sulcus bleeding index, oral hygiene index simplified, @entity5951 ( @entity5951 ), and clinical @entity6730 (CAL), @entity604 ( @entity604 ), and number of missing teeth. The correlation of @entity2520 status with systemic @entity79 ( @entity79 ) was evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: The results indicated that @entity3604 (Group 1) @entity1 had a significantly greater @entity5951 , CAL, and @entity604 when compared with the non- @entity3604 Group 2 (P < 0.0001). There was no significant correlation between @entity79 and various parameters between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of the present study it was noted that postmenopausal @entity170 is associated with an increased incidence and severity of @entity2520 . Educating @entity3604 @entity1 regarding the importance of good oral care should be part of their management regime. Hence, it could be inferred a possibility of a probable relationship between @entity2520 , but long-term prospective studies are warranted in the future in order to provide definitive evidence.
