Abstract

Background: Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstrual cycles due to the loss of ovarian activity. This phase is characterized by physiological changes, mostly influenced by the decrease of estrogen and progesterone, as well as by the aging of tissues. These changes can involve oral cavity. Postmenopausal women are prone to changes in the oral cavity such as volume, salivary pH and oral conditions such as ulceration, bleeding gums, dry mouth and caries due to hormonal changes. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the differences in volume, salivary pH and oral conditions in menopausal women and non-menopausal women. Method: This study was using an analytic comparative method. The data obtained was secondary data from the results of the Unpad Lecturer Competency Research (RKDU) by taking a convenience sampling of 27 menopausal women and using simple random sampling of 27 non-menopausal women. The volume and salivary pH were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test and the data on the condition of the oral cavity were analyzed using the z-parametric test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in salivary volume (p=0.0016), salivary pH (p=0.0191) and caries (p=0.0142), and there was no significant differences in ulceration conditions (p=0.5), bleeding gums (p=0.0806) and dry mouth (p= 0.2756) in menopausal women and non-menopausal women. Conclusion: There are differences in salivary volume, salivary pH and caries conditions, but there are no differences in ulceration, bleeding gums and dry mouth conditions in menopausal women and non-menopausal women.  Keywords: Menopausal women, Oral changes, Saliva pH, Saliva volume

Abstract

Background: The Prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been increasing over the past decades. DM is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, which impacts various body systems, including the oral cavity. It affects salivary volume, salivary pH, and oral health, leading to conditions such as xerostomia, gingivitis, dental caries, and ulceration. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the differences in salivary volume, salivary pH, and oral conditions in DM patients and non-DM. Methods: This study was an analytic comparative using secondary data from the result of Unpad Lecturer Competency Research (RKDU) by a consecutive sampling of 22 DM women and 22 non-DM women. The numerical data were analyzed using t test or Mann-Whitney test and the categorical data were analyzed using z proportion test with a significance level of p<0,05. Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in salivary volume (p=0,0001), salivary pH (p=2,54E-05), xerostomia (p=0,01), and dental caries (p=0,007), and there were no significant differences in gingivitis (p=0,216) and ulceration (p=0,154) in DM group and non-DM group. Conclusion: There are differences in salivary volume, salivary pH, and the conditions of xerostomia and dental caries, but there are no differences in the conditions of gingivitis and ulceration in DM patients and non-DM. The differences in saliva and oral conditions are caused by autonomy neuropathy, dehydration, alteration in vascularization and immune response, increasing salivary glucose level, and drug consumption.
