Systemic Profile and Periodontal Condition of Hospitalized Women with High-Risk Pregnancy: A Cross-Sectional Study
2023
Overview
IntroductionThe physiological changes in mother-infant pairs during pregnancy increase the susceptibility to a series of infections, including those of the oral cavity. Therefore, the oral and systemic health of pregnant women is related to adverse pregnancy outcomes.ObjectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the systemic profile and periodontal status of women with a high-risk pregnancy.MethodsEighty-nine pregnant women at risk of preterm labor admitted to a hospital in southern Brazil were interviewed and received a periodontal examination. Data related to obstetric complications during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia, infections, medication use, and gestational diabetes) and systemic diseases were collected from medical records. The periodontal parameters of probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment level were evaluated. The data were tabulated, and statistical analysis was performed (p < 0.05).ResultsThe mean age of participants was 24 years (SD = 5.62). Gingival bleeding was recorded in 91% of the participants. The prevalence of gingivitis was 31.46%, and periodontitis was 29.21%. No association between systemic conditions and periodontal disease was observed.Conclusions and Implications for PracticePeriodontal inflammation was not associated with the systemic profile during pregnancy. However, women with high-risk pregnancies showed higher levels of gingival inflammation, emphasizing the importance of dental care during pregnancy.SignificanceThe gestational period is marked by a series of physiological changes that can be influenced by local and systemic conditions. Thus, investigating the periodontal status of pregnant women considered at risk for premature birth and evaluating associations with the systemic health of these patients can present important risk indicators for maternal and fetal health.
