| Popis: | This study evaluated the dental tissues in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. The study group consisted of 39 pregnant women with gestational diabetes and the control group included 62 pregnant women without the disorder. The plaque index, decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMF index) and the relationship of these measures to a series of variables (socio-demographic, oral hygiene and diet) were evaluated. Clinical evaluation was performed during 34-36 weeks of pregnancy. The plaque index and DMF were increased among women with gestational diabetes compared with control patients but the differences were not significant (p = 0.167 and p = 0.436, respectively). The DMF increased with respect to age (p < 0.001) and frequency of snacks before pregnancy (p = 0.058). The DMF and plaque index decreased (p = 0.031 and p = 0.004, respectively) among women with a higher level of education. This study detected no significant differences in dental status between pregnant women with gestational diabetes and pregnant women without the disorder. |
