Abstract
In this report, we will discuss the relationship between the periodontal disease and
pregnancy, which is bidirectional which means both have an effect on each other. The
changing of hormonal pregnancy can cause pyogenic granuloma .And the periodontal
diseases' bacteria can cause systemic effects which lead to pregnancy outcomes which
have many presentations. The periodontal treatment can cause an effect in pregnancy.
Description
During the course of a normal pregnancy, a series of profound and dynamic
physiological changes occur in both the mother and developing the baby. Some of the
pregnancy-induced immunological modifications in the mother increase her
susceptibility to a number of infections, including periodontal disease. It also appears
that periodontal infections are a group of infection and conditions that cause
inflammation gingiva and surrounding structure, which lead to the destruction of
supporting tooth structures. Periodontal infections are predominantly caused by gramnegative
bacteria that induce local and systemic elevation of proinflammatory
cytokines. It causes an increase in the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Such
outcomes include pre-term birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, delivery of a
small for gestational-age infant, and fetal loss. Also, the using of periodontal therapy
can affect in the pregnancy
