Background: Why maternal periodontitis may induce an inflammatory response with a preterm pregnancy is unclear? This study was done to assess if periodontitis can predict preterm gestation Aim: The aim of this study was to assess if periodontitis can predict preterm gestation. Materials and Methods: Clinical parameters such as pocket depth/sulcus depth and Russel's periodontal indices were recorded from 36 subjects. They were divided into two groups based on the parameters such as gestational age (GA) above or below 36 weeks and periodontal pocket depth beyond 5 mm. Results: A positive correlation was found between GA, Russel's periodontal index, and pocket depth (r = -0.69, P < 0.001), (r = -0.71, P < 0.001), i.e., when pocket depth is more than 4 mm; there was increase in Russel's periodontal index score, estimated GA shows a steady decline. Conclusion: With increase Russel's periodontal index score and periodontal destruction, there is increase of inverse relationship to premature gestation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
