The correlation between periodontology and pregnancy

Pregnancy is a special period in a woman's life, characterized by increased plasma levels of sex hormones (estradiol, estriol, and progesterone). The prevalence and severity of periodontal disease intensify during pregnancy, making pregnant women particularly vulnerable to developing periodontal problems.It is now clear that periodontal disease can cause adverse consequences for both the pregnant woman and the baby. Both of these possibilities are serious topics for current and future research, as pregnant women are considered an important and susceptible population regarding their periodontal status.At this stage, the relationship between periodontal disease and pregnancy is relatively poorly documented due to conflicting evidence. This article aims to summarize the recent evidence for this correlation. ; Pregnancy is a special period in a woman's life, characterized by increased plasma levels of sex hormones (estradiol, estriol, and progesterone).
