Periodontal Condition in Pregnancy and Low Birth Delivery Incidence

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pregnancy; Birth Weight; Periodontal Diseases

• Registration Number: NCT02613468
• Lead Sponsor: Ondokuz Mayıs University

Brief Summary

The objective of this study was the evaluation of periodontal condition in pregnant women and the effect of the treatment of periodontal disease upon low birth weight.

Detailed Description

This research was carried out in the following three centers: Samsun Birth and Children's Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Ondokuz Mayıs. 269 women in their first trimester were included in this study. Their ages ranged from 18-35 years, their height was above 150 cm and they have no history of any systemic disease. At the end of each trimester these measurements were performed: attachment level, probing depth, gingival index, plaque index, and bleeding on probing. According to the periodontal diagnosis the research population was divided into three groups: periodontally healthy women; periodontally diseased women, however rejection of treatment; periodontally diseased women, however acceptance of treatment.In this study one-way ANOVA, chi-square, conditional logistic regression analyses were used.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of pregnancies	At 9th months	Number of pregnancies (numbers)
Birth weight	At 9th months	Birth weight (kg)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Probing pocket depth	average of 2nd months, 5th months and 8th months	The changes in probing pocket depth in time frame.Probing pocket depth was measured for determining severity of disease and clinic outcome.
Gingival index	average of 2nd months, 5th months and 8th months	The changes in gingival index in time frame. Gingival index was recorded for classifying and evaluating (coronally) gingival inflammation.
Plaque index	average of 2nd months, 5th months and 8th months	The changes in plaque index in time frame. Plaque index was recorded for determining and classifying oral hygiene status.
Bleeding on probing	average of 2nd months, 5th months and 8th months	The changes in bleeding on probing in time frame. Bleeding on probing was recorded for classifying and evaluating (apically) gingival inflammation.
Clinical attachment level	average of 2nd months, 5th months and 8th months	The changes in clinical attachment level in time frame. Clinical attachment level was measured for determining severity of disease and clinic outcome.
