Prevalance of periodontal disease in pregnant women
Abstract
Background: Periodontitis is inflammation of the periodontium that
extends beyond the gingiva and produces destruction of the connective tissue
attachment of the teeth. Maternal oral health is very important factor in
determining pregnancy outcome not only for the mother but also for the health
of fetus. Various forms of periodontal infections have been correlated to
adverse pregnancy outcomes as miscarriage, preterm birth, preeclampsia ,
preterm birth, low birth weight, IUGR, still birth. Good maternal oral health
may be key to childhood caries prevention.
Methods: Two hundred and sixty three pregnant women were
included as per inclusion criteria. Written informed consent of the eligible
women was taken. Subjects were evaluated on the basis of predesigned and
pretested study proforma with respect to history, clinical examination and
ultrasonography. Oral health examination of the patients was conducted at the
time of inclusion into study and reexamined in the postpartum period for
maternal and perinatal outcomes.
Results: Prevalence of
periodontal disease was seen in 77.18% of pregnant women.There was no
statistically significant association between periodontal disease and maternal
co-morbidities like GDM, Pre-eclampsia and gestation age of delivery.Significant correlation was found between
periodontal disease and socio economic status of the patients.There was significant
correlation between birth weight and periodontal disease.
Conclusion: Periodontal disease
is prevalent in pregnancy. Pregnant woman were not aware regarding the role of
periodontal disease
in adverse pregnancy outcomes and the importance of regular dental check up.
