ETIOPATOGENETIC FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PARODONTAL DISEASES IN POST-MENOPASIS WOMEN

The postmenopausal period of women's life is characterized by metabolic disorders in various tissues, including the dentition, in the form of tooth loss, periodontal disease, increased resorption of the alveolar and jaw bones (Khokhlova E. Yu., Volozhin A. I., Markov B. P. and others, 2015). The high prevalence of dental diseases in postmenopausal women and the difficulties encountered in their treatment and prevention are largely due to insufficient knowledge of the pathogenesis. In recent years, a large number of works have been devoted to studying the nature of the relationship between systemic osteoporosis and generalized periodontitis, however, the available information is contradictory and requires additional research (1, 4).
