This cross-sectional study examined the strength of association between systemic osteoporosis and periodontal status in postmenopausal non-Hispanic white women. Twenty subjects with low bone density and a spine bone density of 0.753 +/- 0.039 dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry units (g/cm2) and 22 subjects with high bone density and a spine bone density of 1.032 +/- 0.028 dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry units (g/cm2) were randomly selected from a cohort of 565 women. Periodontal assessment included Plaque Index, Gingival Index, pocket depth, gingival recession, and periodontal attachment level. There were no significant differences in Plaque Index, Gingival Index, and probing depth in both groups; however, there were significant differences in gingival recession components of periodontal attachment level in both groups. This study suggests that systemic osteoporosis may contribute to periodontal attachment loss in the form of gingival recession.
这项横断面研究调查了绝经后非西班牙裔白人女性全身骨质疏松症与牙周状况之间的关联强度。从565名女性队列中随机选取了20名骨密度低且脊柱骨密度为0.753±0.039双能X线吸收测定单位（g/cm²）的受试者，以及22名骨密度高且脊柱骨密度为1.032±0.028双能X线吸收测定单位（g/cm²）的受试者。牙周评估包括菌斑指数、牙龈指数、牙周袋深度、牙龈退缩和牙周附着水平。两组的菌斑指数、牙龈指数和探诊深度均无显著差异；然而，两组牙周附着水平的牙龈退缩成分存在显著差异。这项研究表明，全身骨质疏松症可能以牙龈退缩的形式导致牙周附着丧失。
