“…There is broad evidence regarding the lack of oral healthcare during pregnancy and its potential negative implications for both the mother and the newborn [39,40]. Furthermore, it has been hypothesized that once the in ammatory cascade is activated during pregnancy, interventions targeting this pathway may be ineffective at reducing preterm birth rates [41].…”

Purpose: Pregnancy is a period in a woman’s life which has important consequences on oral health, particularly for gingival health. The present study aimed to evaluate the way in which periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) evolves during pregnancy and to identify women at higher risk of developing gingivitis and periodontitis during late pregnancy.Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in southern Spain, with 147 pregnant women who were assessed during the first and third trimesters of gestation in a public hospital. Data regarding gingival and periodontal health, oral hygiene and overall health status (obesity and diabetes mellitus) were collected. Reporting followed STROBE checklist.Results: A significantly higher number of women had periodontal and gingival disease in the third trimester of gestation compared with in early pregnancy. In the third trimester of gestation, 42 (28.6%) and 63 (42.9%) of women presented symptoms of periodontal disease and gingival disease, respectively. Obesity (OR: 2.834; 95%CI 0.919-8.741), worse oral hygiene during the first trimester of gestation (OR: 4.031; 95%CI: 2.12-7.65) and periodontal disease during early pregnancy (OR: 15.104; 95%CI: 3.60-63.36) most effectively predicted periodontal disease during late pregnancy.Conclusions: Pregnancy is associated with exacerbated periodontal and gingival disease symptoms throughout the different trimesters of gestation. Obesity and oral hygiene during early pregnancy were the risk factors that most contributed to the aforementioned changes in periodontal disease.

“…Several studies have assumed that periodonal diseases can trigger premature birth, and are the cause of reduced fetal weight at birth, so, consideration was given to the possible hematogenic invasion of the hourly pathogens and their metabolites, the circulation of inflammatory products through blood flow, as well as immune responses of the mother/fetus from pathogens [10,11].…”

“…The authors concluded that periodontitis is a potential independent risk indicator for pre‐eclampsia (aOR=4.12), low birth weight (aOR=2.41), and preterm birth (aOR=2.32) (Gesase et al, 2018). In addition, the non‐invasive nature of periodontal therapy may bring important benefits in these cases (Jajoo et al, 2020; Vergnes & Sixou, 2007).…”
