Introduction: Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstrual cycles
due to the loss of ovarian activity. This phase is characterized by physiological
changes, mostly influenced by the decrease of estrogen and progesterone, as well
as by the aging of tissues. These changes can involve numerous parts of the body,
including the oral cavity. Postmenopausal women are prone to changes in the oral
cavity such as volume, salivary pH and oral conditions such as ulceration, bleeding
gums, dry mouth and caries due to hormonal changes. This study aimed to
determine the differences in volume, salivary pH and oral conditions in menopausal
women and non-menopausal women. Method: The method of this study is using an
analytic comparative method. The data obtained was secondary data from the
results of the Unpad Lecturer Competency Research (RKDU) by taking a
convenience sampling of 27 menopausal women and using simple random sampling
of 27 non-menopausal women. The volume and salivary pH were analyzed using
the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test and the data on the condition of the oral
cavity were analyzed using the z-parametric test with a significance level of p
