Abstract

Periodontal disease is characterised by low-grade infection of the gums and tooth support structures by Gram-negative, predominantly anaerobic bacteria. Periodontitis may cause preterm birth by causing low-grade bacteraemia, which lodges in the decidua, chorion and amnion or by releasing endotoxin into the maternal circulation, which triggers intrauterine inflammation and preterm birth. Approximately 25% of PLBW cases occur without any of the known risk factors, which have prompted continuation of the search for other possible causal factors. Collectively, the studies summarized in this paper suggest a model wherein chronic periodontal infection, serving as a reservoir for bacterial products (such as LPS) or various inflammatory mediators (or both), may play an important role in the development of PLBW. On that basis, the authors felt the need for further review on the effect of periodontitis on the health of babies born, and is expected to provide insight into the influence of periodontitis on the health of babies born so the dentist can be more critical and increasing role in preventing and improving maternal health pregnancy and abortion standarizations. As conclusion, the poor health of periodontium during pregnancy is one of the risks of preterm and low birth weight

Abstract

Menopause describes the cessation of a woman’s menstrual period due to the ovaries’ shutdown of estrogen and progesterone production. Decreased levels of these hormones cause menopause symptoms and reduce the quality of life. Therefore, this study aims to determine how the quality of life of postmenopausal women and the practice of periodontics in Medan City are related to the condition of teeth. A descriptive method was used with a cross-sectional design to adapt the questionnaires. The number of samples was 60 people based on medical record data at the periodontics installation of the RSGM USU and dentists’ practice in Medan. Furthermore, a Likert scale was used to assess the quality of life of postmenopausal women with periodontitis. The results showed that the quality of life, which strongly influenced the teeth, was Stage IV Grade B. In terms of social relations, the most decisive influence on the condition of the teeth was appearance. The aspect of the physical ability which strongly influences the condition is chewing hard food. In conclusion, menopausal women with periodontitis influence their quality of life from aspects of physical ability, social relations, general health, and psychology. Key words: quality of life, menopausal women, periodontitis, dental conditions
