Abstract(s)
As mulheres sofrem ao longo da sua vida várias oscilações hormonais que têm um impacto direto na sua saúde física e psicológica. Estas variações estão associadas tanto à sua predisposição genética, como a fatores ambientais, e resultam em alterações na saúde em geral e na cavidade oral em particular. Certas fases específicas da vida, como puberdade, gravidez e menopausa, acarretam alterações nas hormonas sexuais femininas, como o estrogénio e a progesterona, que se refletem na saúde oral e, consequentemente, na qualidade de vida. O aumento destas hormonas na gravidez está associado a maior sensibilidade gengival, xerostomia, glossidínia, sensação de queimadura oral e maior prevalência de lesões benignas. Na menopausa, a sua diminuição pode levar à redução do fluxo sanguíneo nas gengivas, gengivite, perda óssea na mandíbula e até perda dentária. Esta revisão sistemática procurou avaliar o impacto das alterações hormonais femininas na saúde bucal em diferentes fases da vida. Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science e Google Scholar, com critérios de inclusão e exclusão bem definidos. Foram analisados treze estudos, envolvendo diferentes faixas etárias e estados hormonais (ciclo menstrual, gravidez e menopausa). Os resultados evidenciam uma correlação entre as flutuações hormonais femininas e diversas manifestações orais, reforçando a importância da educação e acompanhamento das mulheres em diferentes fases hormonais para prevenção e cuidados adequados em saúde oral.
Throughout their lives, women experience various hormonal fluctuations that directly impact their physical and psychological health. These variations are associated with genetic predisposition and environmental factors, resulting in changes in overall health and, particularly, in the oral cavity. Specific life stages, such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, involve changes in female sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which can influence oral health and, consequently, quality of life. Increased levels of these hormones during pregnancy are associated with greater gingival sensitivity, xerostomia, glossodynia, burning mouth, and an increased prevalence of benign oral lesions. In contrast, during menopause, the decline in these hormones can reduce blood flow to the gums, increase the risk of gingivitis and bone loss in the jaw, and ultimately lead to tooth loss. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of female hormonal changes on oral health throughout different life stages. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases, with clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirteen studies were analyzed, involving different age groups and hormonal statuses (menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause). The findings reveal a correlation between female hormonal fluctuations and various oral manifestations, highlighting the importance of educating and supporting women during different hormonal phases to ensure prevention and adequate oral health care.
