  • Title: [Periodontal pathology during pregnancy].
    Author: Meneghini C, Battaglia T, Niccoli A.
    Journal: Clin Ter; 2003; 154(2):105-9. PubMed ID: 12856369.
    Abstract:
    There is emerging evidence from the dental literature that periodontal disease may be a risk factor for systemic disease; in addition, several investigators report a link between periodontal infections and pregnancy complications. In the past few decades, major advances have been made in the elucidation of the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of periodontal disease. These developments will be of importance to the obstetrician as periodontal disease may become a potential modifiable risk factor for pregnancy complications.
