  • Estrogen therapy is known to protect against osteoporosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between hormone use and the risk of tooth loss in post-menopausal women.
  • To explore the potential protective effect of estrogen on dental health.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 42,171 post-menopausal women.
  • Analysis of tooth loss risk in relation to current hormone (estrogen) use.

Main Results:

  • Women who currently used hormone therapy exhibited a lower risk of tooth loss.
  • The findings suggest a potential benefit of estrogen in preserving teeth.

    • Conclusions:

    • Estrogen therapy may play a role in reducing tooth loss among post-menopausal women.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm the link between estrogen and oral health preservation.
