Periodontal condition of pregnant women

Periodontal status od 102 pregnant and 89 non- pregnant women were assessed by means of clinical probinf depth (CPD), papilla bleeding index (PBI), gingival recession (GR) and aproximal plaque index( API). The aim of this survey was to obtain information which is necessary for inclusion in the periodontal treatment during pregnancy. Around 87% of the pregnant women and 73% f non-pregnant women had some sign of periodontal disease. The percentage of women having pockets deeper than 6mm were higher, and PBI and API values were higher in pregnant women. These findings suggest a need for periodontal intervention during pregnancy.
