Abstract

Oral contraceptives are used by millions of women, however it is unknown how they affect oral and periodontal health. The goal of the study was to evaluate the impact of oral contraceptive pills on periodontal health status as related to saliva interleukin IL-1β since saliva biomarkers may offer a cutting-edge way for manually probing, precisely diagnosing periodontal health and illness. In Baghdad city, 88 married women between the ages of 25 and 45 were examined in a case-control research to determine their periodontal health) by using Basic Periodontal Examination and saliva interleukin IL-1β levels. Before the study began, official approval and consent were sought. There was a substantial rise in periodontal scores (bleeding on probing and periodontal pocket depth) among long-term oral contraceptive users, and there were a statistically significant positive correlation between mean of salivary interleukin IL-1β levels with each other in each group (p< 0.05). The results show that women's usage of hormonal contraceptives has been thought to impact the development of periodontal and gingival disease. As a result, patients need to practice stringent dental hygiene.
