Oxidative Stress in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome With Periodontal Disease and Dental Caries Lesions

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome With Periodontal Disease and Dental Caries

This study evaluates the oxidative stress parameters in females with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and clinically healthy. Because of the fact that both oral disease included periodontitis and dental caries, and metabolic syndrome are associated with systemic inflammation, these two disorders may be linked through a common pathophysiologic pathway

Power analysis was performed with the G-Power software package to determine sample size. To cover possible data loss, 10% of a group were added to each group. Medical and dental examination will be performed both of control and experimental groups. Age and body mass index (BMI) will be recorded.

In dental examination decayed, missing, or filled teeth (DMFT) index will be used according to World Health Organization (WHO 1997) criteria. All teeth were visually using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II). To analyze the correlation between oral health status and polycystic ovary syndrome linear regression test and for comparison of both the groups (case and control), two sample t test and chi square test were used.

Inclusion Criteria:

• females with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Exclusion Criteria:

• history of ovarian surgery, patients with thyroid or prolactin hormone level abnormalities, non-classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency and hormonal therapy, steroid drug use past 6 months, obese patients (body mass index, BMI > 35), acute or chronic upper respiratory tract diseases, dental fluorosis, patients using fluoride supplements or orthodontic appliances will not be included in the study.
