| dc.description.abstract | Background: Periodontal disease is a periodontal tissue disease. The primary etiology of
periodontal disease is plaque bacteria, especially in subgingiva. One of secondary etiology of
periondontal disease is sex hormone changes which can be found in women who used contraceptive
of pill. Purpose: To know the influence of duration in usage of pill contraceptives on amount of colony
of subgingival plaque bacteria and severity of periodontal disease. Methods: Research subjects were
30 women of childbearing age according criteria were classified into 3 groups: control group (women
who did not use contraception), group II (women who active acceptor of contraceptive of pill for 1-2
years), and group III (women who active acceptor of contraceptive of pill for 2-4 years). Subjects
examined their periodontal tissue condition with Periodontal Index (PI) and samples were taken from
subgingival plaque which will to be used for count the amount of bacterial colony. Result: The results
of LSD test showed the amount of colony of subgingival plaque bacteria between groups showed no
significant difference, whereas the individual PI score between groups showed significant differences.
Conclusions: It can be concluded that duration in usage of pill contraceptives did not influence
amount of colony of subgingival plaque bacteria but duration in usage of pill contraceptives
influenced the severity of periodontal disease. The periodontal disease was more severe after two
years using pill contraceptives. | en_US |
