PAZMINO, V.F.C. et al. Influence of estrogen in disease periodontal: literature Review. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2015, vol.27, n.2, pp.75-78. ISSN 2340-3209.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-65852015000200004.

The etiology of periodontal disease is well defined within the etiologic agents that cause this disease. We can cite some subgingival microorganisms as gingivallis Porphyromonas, Prevotella intermedia, Bacteroides forsythus, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and spirochetes. The host susceptibility to these bacterial agents also has an important role in the progress and prevalence of periodontal disease. Among the risk factors associated with periodontal disease are: increasing age, presence of dental biofilm or pathogenic plaque, altered immune status, nutritional deficiency, use of medications such as corticosteroids, gender, stress, snuff, genetic factors and systemic conditions within these alterations are included neutrophils, diabetes, pregnancy, osteoporosis and hormones. Periodontal disease can be exacerbated by certain systemic factors such as deficiency or increased hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This literature review aims to elucidate the influence of estrogen in periodontal disease.
