Abstract

Introduction: Gingival inflammation during childhood and
pubertal maturation increases remarkably.
Aim: to evaluate the influence of progesterone in the maintenance of gingival health in puberty girls, by determining serum and salivary levels of progesterone in puberty girls and the influence of progesterone on the gingival tissue, followed by correlation with gingival indexes.
Material and methods: 30 girls aged between 11 and 14 were divided in two groups-examined group with signs of pubertal gingivitis (n=15) and the same number without gingival inflammation (control group).
The examination of serum and salivary levels of progesterone was performed with progesterone ria - dsl 3400 advancing diagnostics technology.
Results: The results obtained in the examined group indicate the pronounced presence of gingival inflammation.
Progesterone levels in the tested group of girls varied from 0.32 ng/ml in saliva to 16.76 ng/ml in serum and from 0.27 ng/ml in saliva to 13.90 ng/ml in serum at puberty girls without gingivitis. Correlative values comparing the serum and salivary level of progesterone and gingival indices in examined group, indicate a positive correlation with all index values. Strong positive correlation was noted foor serum (r=0.82) and salivary progesrterone with gingival bleeding index (r=0.80).
Conclusion: The latest findings are another direct confirmation of the involvement of sex hormones in the development of gingival alterations in female children during the period of pubertal maturation, hence the important role of dentist in this physiological period of lifе.
