Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, which negatively affects various health systems. There is an extensive literature regarding the association of PCOS and other systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and psychological disorders very less literature are there regarding the association of PCOS and gingival hyperplasia. In this article we have presented three case reports ,of patients with similar background with the history of PCOS that has been documented and similar clinical findings. The other confounding factors of this systemic disease have also been eliminated ,thus we would be directly able to correlate the positive interlinks between PCOS and gingival inflammation.
