The peculiarities of oral cavity and its subjective estimation of women with PCOS

Abstract

The article presents the results of research the aim of which was describing of the peculiarities of oral cavity and its subjective estimation by women with PCOS. On the sample of 50 subjects with PCOS (diagnosed in accordance with Rotterdam consensus] we used the following: oral cavity examination: Gingeval Index, CPITN calculations and WHO questionnaires on oral cavity health for adults. As a result of oral cavity examination we have not found any serious pathology, but 20 % of patients demonstrated gingival bleeding. At the same time, the self-estimation of oral cavity conditions by women with PCOS was "satisfactory" in 34 %, "good" - in 44 % and "excellent" in 22 %. The indices recommended by WHO for estimation of oral cavity conditions (CPITN and GI] were generally within the normal ranges and characterized oral cavity status of the women with PCOS as good. However, in PCOS patients with high degree of gum bleeding the CPITN and GI indexes were increased, and these patients reported that they visited а dentist more frequently. Changes in the condition of the oral cavity in PCOS were not associated with any specific behavior of women in the care of teeth and oral cavity. The authors suggest that additional investigation of microbiome should be done for further more comprehensive analysis of oral cavity
