Oral health is constantly shaped by the cross-talk between behavioral, biological, and social forces. Menopause is that time in a woman's life when menstrual cycles cease by reduced secretion of the ovarian hormones, such as, estrogen and progesterone. Diseases of the mouth itself are the most common reasons for pain and discomfort in the mouth. However, there are certain situations where oral symptoms are caused as a result of systemic diseases. This review article has emphasized on the diverse oral presentations of postmenopausal women by descriptive analysis of various underlying mechanisms associated with these conditions. Dentists should be aware of the possible association of menopause and various oral health problems.
口腔健康不断受到行为、生物和社会力量之间相互作用的影响。更年期是女性生命中的一个阶段，此时月经周期因卵巢激素（如雌激素和孕激素）分泌减少而停止。口腔本身的疾病是口腔疼痛和不适的最常见原因。然而，在某些情况下，口腔症状是由全身性疾病引起的。这篇综述文章通过对与这些情况相关的各种潜在机制进行描述性分析，强调了绝经后女性的多种口腔表现。牙医应该意识到更年期与各种口腔健康问题之间可能存在的关联。
