Prevalence of periodontal disease and adverse events in pregnancy in high risk pregnant

P
eriodontal disease during pregnancy can lead to adverse
outcomes such as preterm delivery, low birth weight
and preeclampsia. In this context, the dental monitoring of
pregnant women with periodontal disease is very important.
Our study aimed to evaluate periodontal health in a group of
high-risk pregnant women (cardiac, hypertensive, diabetic,
among others) who attend the clinic of pregnant women at
the Hospital das Clínicas de Uberlândia - HCU-UFU, Brazil.
Examinations of plaque index, depth of probing, mobility,
bleedingonprobingandthegingivalmarginlevelwasmeasured
to evaluate the degree of loss of periodontal insertion and
the severity of periodontal disease. Oral hygiene instruction
procedures were performed and prophylaxis in pregnant
women and supra and subgingival scaling when necessary. At
the end, the patients' medical records were evaluated to see if
any adverse outcome occurred during pregnancy or delivery.
The majority of pregnant women presented periodontal
disease (78.8%), with higher values for periodontitis and
gingivitis. Most of the pregnant women presented some type
of problem at delivery (58.33% of the patients) and 57.14% of
these women who had problem at delivery had periodontal
disease. Although the results show that most high-risk
pregnant women with periodontal disease presented with
adverse events during labor. However studies with a larger
sample size were necessary to confirm the relationship
between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy events.
