Correlation between infant birth weight and mother's periodontal status

Abstract: Periodontal disease in normal Caucasian pregnant women, older than 25 years, is statistically associated with a reduction in the infant birth weight. These data provide new evidence on the relationship between periodontal disease and birth weight.

“…[8] This study reported that mothers with low birth weight had severe gingivitis when compared to mothers who delivered term normal birth weight infants.The relationship of the weight of the infant with the gingival status was found to be significant in the Control group (P < 0.05), Subgroup A Cases (P < 0.05), Subgroup B Cases (P < 0.05) and Subgroup C Cases (P < 0.05). These results are concurrent with those of Marin et al [11] they concluded that bleeding on probing was significantly greater in women with infants weighing <2500g compared with women with infants weighing 2500-3499g and ≥ 3500g.The relationship of maternal age with the periodontal condition was found to be significant in the Control group (P < 0.05), Subgroup A Cases (P < 0.05), Subgroup B Cases (P < 0.05) and Subgroup C Cases (P < 0.05). The above results agree with those reported by Offenbacher S et al 1996 [7] They concluded that preterm low birth weight cases had worse periodontal disease than the respective normal birth weight controls.…”

“…Offenbacher et al 5 first suggested that poor oral health could cause pregnancy complications, and later studies [6][7][8] have reached the same conclusions. Another study, however, has found no association between poor dental health and pregnancy complications 9 .…”

“…These conditions may be risk factors for pregnancy complications, preterm delivery, low birth weight and early childhood caries [5][6][7][8] . In this study, we examined the occurrence of dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis in 61 women with normal pregnancies and 81 women with high-risk pregnancies.…”

“…O papel da infecção periodontal como possí-vel fator de risco para o PMBP parece envolver a translocação de produtos bacterianos, tais como lipopolissacarídeos (LPS) ou mediadores inflamatórios (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α e PGE 2 ), ao invés da passagem bacteriana, ou seja, translocação da bacté-ria por si só 8 . A associação significativa entre a gravidade da doença periodontal e recém-nascidos de baixo peso sugere a possibilidade de que a doença periodontal na gravidez seja fator de risco para o nascimento de recém-nascidos com baixo peso 9,10 , tendo sido detectado que a doença periodontal infecciosa parece ter relação direta com o nascimento de PMPB 11 . Todavia, alguns trabalhos mostraram não haver associação significativa entre a doença periodontal materna e o parto prematuro de recém-nascidos de baixo peso, ratificando que a doença periodontal materna não representa um fator de risco para o nascimento de PMBP 12,13 .…”
