Abstract:
Recently,increasing evidence suggests that gingivitis and periodontitis may be one of the etiological factors for some adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth,preeclampsia,fetal growth restriction and lateral miscarriage.Although there are some conflicting findings and potential problems regarding uncontrolled underlying risk factors,most of the clinical studies indicate a positive correlation of gingivitis and periodontitis with those complications.This review discusses the relationship and its possible pathological mechanism in order to better prevent the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
