Experimental gingivitis during pregnancy and post‐partum: clinical, endocrinological, and microbiological aspects

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess whether an intensive oral hygiene regimen practised during pregnancy results in a clinically healthy gingival state, and to assess whether experimentally-induced gingivitis differs in severity during pregnancy as compared to post-partum. In addition, levels of black-pigmented Gram negative anaerobes at subgingival and oral mucosal sites and plasma concentrations of free estrogens and prosterone were determined. These parameters were studied during a 14-day episode of exp… Show more

“…The lack of an association with bleeding on probing may have been complicated by a known association between pregnancy and increased gingival inflammation. [22][23][24][25][26] Pregnancy outcome data collection was very successful with only 2.2% of subjects missing outcome data. It is difficult to compare the population in this study with either other UK or US maternity populations, however some data are available.…”

“…intermedia is detected not only in infected periodontal regions but also in the normal gingival crevice, indicating that Pre. intermedia is one of the early colonizers in periodontal niches (Loesche et Kononen, 1993;Raber-Durlacher et al, 1994;Ashimoto et al, 1996). Therefore, it is possible that Por.…”

“…The subgingival microbiota may also undergo changes, including an increase in Prevotella intermedia. 14,15 This condition is not observed clinically in every pregnant women, however, with poor oral hygiene like in this case a pronounced enlargement can be developed.…”
