Method: case-control study, the sample was a group of women 18 to 45 years immunocompetent menstrual cycles and a control group of the same age range not consuming contraceptives. Surveys were conducted with recording of risk factors and type of contraception used, indicators were also assessed periodontal clinical samples were collected for microbiological studies.
Result: In relation to periodontal diagnosis, this varies according to age range, women who drink up to 25 years combined oral contraceptives have a greater severity of periodontal disease (prevalence of mild gingivitis and periodontitis), showing a statistically significant difference compared to they do not eat (p <0.001) also show the highest average of species of Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropical microbiota associated with each disease. In the sample studied, no differences were observed with different progestins used in periodontal disease. Conclusions: Combined oral contraceptives microbiological changes by altering the microenvironment and also to act as nutrients for microorganisms.
