Sažetak
Literature data on stomatopyrotic discomforts have suggested their
occurrence to be associated in various postmenopausal periods.
The aim of this study was to fing out whether the histopathologic
characteristic of oral-buccal epithelium differed between women with symptoms of during the postmenopausal period. Sixty women aged 40—60 years, with the posmenopausal period ranging from 1 to 14 years, were examined. In all women, medical history was taken, clinical oral examination carried out, and oral and laboratory testings (assessment of the severity of stomatopyrosis and histopatologic finding of the oral mucosa epithelium) were performed. The results obtained revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups of women, either in the degree of keratinization of oral mucosa epithelium or in the severity of parkeratosis, acanthosis and mitotic activity. Statistically significant differences between the two groups of women, however, were recorded for the degree of degeneration of the oral buccal epithelial cells, which was found to increase with the duration of the postmenopausal period.
