| Summary: | Introduction: Periodontal medicine indicates a strong
relationship between Periodontal Health (PH) or disease and
‘systemic health.’ Although Periodontal Disease (PD) is quite
distant from the area affected by endometriosis, both conditions
share a similar pathogenesis. Both endometriosis and PD are
chronic inflammatory diseases that occur more commonly
in patients with systemic disorders. Moreover, significant
alterations in immune modulators have been shown to occur in
both diseases.
Need for the Study: The research is to evaluate the correlation
between endometriosis and PH for early diagnosis, treatment
planning, and prevention of long-term sequelae.
Aim: To evaluate the PH status in female patients with
endometriosis.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study will be
carried out in the Department of Periodontics, Sharad Pawar
Dental College and Hospital, Datta Meghe Institute of Higher
Education and Research (Deemed to be University), Sawangi
(M), Wardha, Maharashtra, India from September 2023 to March
2024, involving 384 participants (192 patients diagnosed with
endometriosis and 192 controls). Assessment of oral hygiene,
plaque accumulation, gingival status, Probing Pocket Depth
(PPD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Gingival Recession
(GR), and other factors will be measured to evaluate the PH of
the patients. |
