Abstract
Polycystic cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by several clinical features which includes hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, an ovulation, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, infertility, and obesity. Female sex hormones such as estrogens and progesterone normally believed to cause gingival hyperplasia. Hormonal imbalance in PCOS possibly can lead alteration in gingival and periodontal status. Aim and Objectives: To assess the gingival and periodontal status in patients with PCOS and to compare it with age matched normal control subjects. Method: Gingival and periodontal status was assessed by utilizing Gingival index (GI) and community periodontal index (CPI) and the oral hygiene status was assessed by simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S). Results: Mean GI interpretation score for PCOS patients group and control group was 1.977 and 1.513 respectively. Mean CPI score for PCOS group and control group was 2.617 and 1.323 respectively. Comparison of GI score and CPI score using Mann – Whitney U test between PCOS group and the control group showed statistically significant difference with p-value (<0.001). Conclusion: Gingival inflammation and periodontal loss of attachment is more in PCOS patients compared to normal controls with good oral hygiene. This indicates PCOS as a risk factor for chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium.
