ABSTRACT: The menopause is one period during which various symptoms will be declared. Some can relate to the oral cavity, they are mainly the symptoms of oral discomfort, the gingivitis and the periodontitis. To study closely the relation between menopause and periodont, we carried out a bidirectional, transversal, analytical and epidemiological survey of nearly 60 menopausal women and 60 witnesses consulting within service of gynecology CHU of Casablanca. The goal of this investigation is to locate the level of the periodontal health among menopausal women compared to pilot subjects, as well as the repercussion of the menopause on the periodontal health. Our results showed: 1) An oral level of hygiene oscillating between the moderate one and the bad one. 2) A bad condition of teeth. The repercussion of the menopause on the periodontal health appeared by: 1) An increase in the degree of mobility; 2) An increase height of the gingival recessions; 3) An increase depth of the periodontal pockets. During the menopause, these three parameters are more and more accentuated. It is then necessary to classify menopausal women like a particular and priority case in any preventive action and therapeutic company to try to preserve and maintain its periodontal health.
