“…Rateitschak[4] explained that mobility during periods of hormonal changes is increased mainly because of an increase in the initial free intrasocket movement of the roots (initial mobility) and not because of increased elastic bone distortion. Initial mobility is among other factors dependent on the degree of vascularization and the vascular volume of the periodontal membrane.…”

Background and Objective:Over a century, an increased prevalence of gingival disease associated with increasing plasma sex steroid hormone levels has been reported. These situations present unique challenges to the oral health care professional. It is believed that hormonal fluctuations such as those associated with pregnancy, menstruation, and use of hormonal contraceptives lead to an increase in tooth mobility. However, this effect of female sex hormones on periodontal ligament and tooth supporting alveolar bone has rarely been investigated. So this study was undertaken to understand the effect on tooth mobility because of hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.Materials and Methods:The mobility of index teeth 16, 13, 21, 23, 24, 36, 33, 41, 43, and 44 was measured with Periotest in 50 females at menstruation, ovulation, and premenstruation time points. Simplified oral hygiene index, plaque index, gingival index, and probing depth were also evaluated during the different phases of menstrual cycle for each subject participating in the study.Statistical Analysis:The results of the study were subjected to statistical analysis. Data analysis was done by applying Z test for comparing difference between two sample means.Result:The stages of menstrual cycle had no significant influence on the Periotest value. Despite no significant change in plaque levels, GI was significantly higher during ovulation and premenstruation time points.Conclusion:No change in tooth mobility was seen during the phases of the menstrual cycle. However, an exaggerated gingival response was seen during ovulation and premenstruation time when the entire menstrual cycle was observed.

“…Increased tooth mobility has been detected in pregnancy even in periodontally healthy women. The upper incisors are most mobile during the last month of pregnancy 17 . Development of such mobility is possibly due to mineral shifts in the lamina dura and not to modification of the alveolar bone.…”

“…The upper incisors are most mobile during the last month of pregnancy. 17 Development of such mobility is possibly due to mineral shifts in the lamina dura and not to modification of the alveolar bone. The degree of periodontal disease present and disturbance of the supporting attachment tissues are also thought to contribute to this mobility, which usually resolves post delivery.…”

Key content Pregnancy has significant effects on the periodontal tissues and pregnancy gingivitis is a common manifestation of this. The host response and oral flora are affected and tooth surface loss and mobility may develop. Further research is required to establish the association between periodontal health and adverse pregnancy outcome. Learning objectives To identify the main dental manifestations of pregnancy. To be able to advise pregnant women on how to maintain good dental health. To be aware of the need for effective communication between the dental and medical disciplines to ensure that pregnant women receive the best care possible for oral, obstetric and general health. Ethical issues The treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis during pregnancy is safe and effective in treating gum disease. Please cite this article as: Pirie M, Cooke I, Linden G, Irwin C.

“…Rateitschak (38) Lindhe y col (48) (1967) en un estudio experimental en hámster analizan los efectos de las hormonas sobre el sistema vascular comprobando que estas inducen un impedimento vascular, por lo que concluyen que la gingivitis del embarazo puede ser considerada como una reacción tisular en la que las hormonas sexuales actúan sobre el tejido y el sistema vascular disminuyendo el nivel umbral a partir del cual distintos agentes son capaces de inducir daño tisular gingival. Este mismo autor (49,50), en 1968, estudia la influencia de las hormonas sexuales en la exudación gingival en perros hembra con y sin gingivitis.…”
