“…Literature has indicated postmenopausal women as the population most in danger of osteoporosis, hence, it is them who should pay additional attention to their periodontal examination. Disturbingly, the majority of periodontal patients seem to be unaware of their disease, because they correlate oral illness exclusively to the onset of symptoms 57 . This fact points out a necessity to educate people, especially postmenopausal women, on their periodontal management and inform them about the potential benefits that oral health could have on their skeletal well-being.…”

Periodontitis has often been reported as a systematic disease independently associated with a range of AbstractChronic periodontitis and osteoporosis are both systemic diseases, characterized by bone resorption. Over the last decade, their correlation has been examined closely, mainly to investigate whether they present a risk factor or an indicator for each other. It is their pathogenetic similarities, their numerous common risk factors and their frequent concomitant development that initiated researchers' interest in the precise association between these two maladies. The present review is aiming to analyse this correlation, laying emphasis on the effects of periodontal status on the skeletal bone mineral density, as suggested by the latest studies. It will also attempt to clarify whether periodontal management could influence the progression or the onset of osteoporosis.

“…It becomes vital that the dentist is equipped with appropriate communication capabilities other than specialty/technical competencies required for creating an entire denture. it became discovered in one of the studies that postmenopausal women have been now not aware of their periodontal health and the risks worried to their systemic fitness and therefore authors suggested growing taskforce comprising of periodontists, generalists, verbal exchange experts 40 .…”

Background and aim:Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is broadly used as a removable prosthesis denture base. Silver Nano-particles (AgNPs) had been included to PMMA because of their antibacterial homes and higher thermal conductivity, at the same time as it had a destructive effect on the flexural strength and coloration stability that is probably resulted from the inhomogeneous combination. The motive of this research changed into to discover whether the addition of (AgNPs) to PMMA either in liquid form or in powder nation can enhance the flexural strength and the shade balance of PMMA. Also evaluating an edentulous menopausal lady as a multidisciplinary control after wearing a denture made from silver nanoparticles added to (PMMA) denture base. Materials and methods:Fifty specimens of heat cure acrylic resin had been organized for flexural strength and color stability. Twenty-five for each test that become divided into 3 groups. Group 1 was the control group (unmodified acrylic resin specimens) and group 2 turned into Nano silver introduced within the form of powder to the polymer of (PMMA), while group 3 was Nano silver brought in the form of liquid to the monomer of (PMMA). Group 2 and 3 specimens had been break up into subgroups A and B 5 each, with 0.2%, and 0.4 % wt. of Nano silver addition to (PMMA) respectively. A flexural strength was measured via the usage of an Instron regular testing machine. A double beam ultra-violet visible spectrophotometer was checked to the degree of coloration stability. One edentulous menopausal woman that present process treatment below a gynecologist for menopausal signs and symptoms was selected as a case report and received denture made out of silver nanoparticles added to acrylic resin and patient satisfaction became evaluated after 4 months. The results have been gathered tabulated and statically analyzed.Results: There has been a massive distinction in the flexural power values among all corporations (p< 0.05) relative to the non-changed heat treatment (control group). Acrylic resin samples with 0.2% in liquid additive form (3A) ended in more flexural power then 0.4% addition (3B) in comparison to different changed groups .The samples with 0.4 % in powder form(2B) had a lowest (1514) Hoda A Rashad and Faten A S Abutaleb E.D.J. Vol. 64,No. 2 flexural strength in comparison to the all groups (p< 0.05). In comparing the color variations (ΔE) comparable to control group, group 3A and group 3B, showed lowest color variations respectively. At the same time group 2Aand 2B ended in highest shade distinction .Conclusion: Set up on the effects of this results, modifying PMMA with Nano silver debris led to lower in flexural strength and shade stability, addition of Nano silver particles in liquid shape was higher than powder form as concerning flexural strength and better color difference and the addition percentage of 0.2 became better than 0.4. Menopausal pride turned into higher and her complain became managed with the new denture.

“…Periodontal disease is not well known among women, although they know the risk factors for developing caries, such as the infrequency of brushing, poor dental technique, and sugary foods. The study showed that most of the patients neither had knowledge about the risk factors nor of all the signs and symptoms, but once it was explained to them, they showed greater interest in self-care and assisted a periodic review by the specialist [24].…”

Ethical Considerations in Research and Medical Care of Menopause

Reflections on Bioethics

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation, and among the main symptoms reported have been night sweats, heat waves, increased body fat at the central level, dyslipidemia, hypertension, osteoporosis, insulin resistance, diabetes, mild cognitive impairment, depression, periodontitis, varicose veins, apnea, urinary genital discomfort, as well as dryness in the mouth and eye. The diagnosis, study, and care of menopausal or postmenopausal women have had great advances, such as recognizing the sub-inclusion of women and female animal models in basic and clinical studies and proposing in the same design of the study the analysis by sex. Subsequently, the need for specialized ethical training was identified, beginning in undergraduate, postgraduate, and clinical practice. To achieve this, several actions were carried out, such as the foundation of Women's Health Institutes, the implementation of the Institutional and Private Committees of Ethic, and the development of validated instruments to evaluate signs and symptoms. Currently, there is no consensus that meets the ethical requirements for care and research in these patients. Efforts have been made practically by pathology, without considering together the social and psychobiological condition. What is intended in this document is to present the ethical aspects related to the study and medical care of women in menopause.
