Summary

Periodontal diseases and dental caries are initiated by a pathogenic biofilm, in a susceptible host, affecting the tooth periodontium and hard tissues. Its possible association with many biologic systems has been studied. In this study, researchers investigated association between oral health and female infertility, and what is the biological rationale for such relationship.

Detailed description

Power analysis was performed with the G-Power software package to determine sample size. To cover possible data loss, 10% of a group were added to each group. Medical and dental examination will be performed both of control and experimental groups. In dental examination decayed, missing, or filled teeth (DMFT) index will be used according to World Health Organization (WHO 1997) criteria. All teeth were visually using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II). To analyze the correlation between oral health status and female infertility linear regression test and for comparison of both the groups (case and control), two sample t test and chi square test were used.
