The dependence [correction of dependance] between the mineral content in skeletal bones and the state of periodontium in women in case of hypoestrogenemia.

Women with hypoestrogenemia either through secondary amenorrhea of unknown etiology, post-menopausal period or removed ovaries due to benign tumor were studied to determine if there is a relationship between the hormone state of women and their skeletal and periodontal tissues. Results indicated that women with hypoestrogenemia showed more pronounced changes in periodontium tissue as compared to normal women. These women also showed evidence of periodontium injury. These results are discussed along with implications for treatment and preventive measures.
