Clinical Periodontal Profile in Pre-Eclampsia
Balwant RAI, Jasdeep KAUR
Resumo
Objective: To investigate the association between periodontal disease and pre-eclampsia.
Methods: A method preliminary study was carried out on 25 pre-eclamptic women and 25 normotensive healthy, normotensive pregnant, women. The clinical parameters and missing teeth were determined. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 7.
Results: The mean pocket depth and missing teeth (periodontal disease characteristics) for pre-eclampsia patients were not significant as compared those of normotensive.
Conclusion: The present study shows that maternal periodontal disease during pregnancy is not associated with increased risk for development of pre-eclampsia. The nature of both pre-eclampsia and periodontitis is multifactorial, and caution should be exercised when implicating periodontal disease in causation of pre-eclampsia.
