  • Title: Periodontal disease as a risk factor in pregnancy.
    Author: Felice P, Pelliccioni GA, Checchi L.
    Journal: Minerva Stomatol; 2005 May; 54(5):255-64. PubMed ID: 15985980.
    Abstract:
    There is growing evidence that periodontal disease represents a risk factor for preterm delivery and premature membrane rupture. To prevent an oral inflammatory process evolving into a full-blown form of periodontitis, with possible severe repercussions on pregnancy outcome following systemic spread, future mothers should receive regular professional oral hygiene care throughout pregnancy.
