Abstract
Menopause is a physiological process that occurs in a woman's life, the result of irreversible changes in the hormonal functions of the ovaries. During the reproductive period of a woman's life, estrogens have a controlling effect on various organs and tissues through interaction with their binding sites - estrogen receptors Suri V., Suri V., 2014. In addition to the uterus and mammary glands, these receptors are located in the urethra, vagina, brain, heart cells, mucous membrane of the oral cavity, larynx, periodontal tissues and other places Leimola-Virtanen R, 2000; Lopez V.S. et al., 2011. Pathological changes can occur in any of the listed organs, including the periodontium, against the background of estrogen deficiency during menopause.
