Pregnancy affecting Oral health | Risk to Oral Health in PregnancyDr. Rajat Sachdeva
In Pregnancy, gingivitis may occur as a consequence of changes in hormone. If not treated at time can result in loss of bone support and subsequently need to remove it.
Periodontitis has also been associated with poor pregnancy outcomes including Preterm Birth and and Low Birth Weight.
Pregnancy tumor, a swollen bleeding gums in between the teeth due plaque accumulation, sticky bacteria that forms on teeth.
Dental caries is also one of the result as during Pregnancy, acid is more than usual.

Periodontitis is a complex infection initiated by bacteria –tissue destruction.
Host: the organism from which a parasite obtains its nourishment/ an individual who receives a graft
Modulation: the alteration of function or status of something in response to a stimulus or an altered physical or chemical environment
PULP POLYP
CHORNIC HYPERPLASTIC PULPITIS
PROLIFERATIVE PULPITIS
It’s a type of irreversible pulpitis
It is a pulpal inflammation due to an extensive carious exposure of young pulp.
Its characterized by the development of granulation tissue, covered by epithelium & resulting from long standing, low grade irritation.
self correcting anomalies in the development of occlusion. this ppt includes the anomalies of a child's developing occlusion which get corrected by itself in some time as the development continues. This includes Retrognathic mandible,infantile swallow,anterior open and deep bite,etc. these topics are important in BDS final examination

Dental considerations in pregnancy by dr alka mukherjee & dr apurva mukhe...alka mukherjee
• Pregnancy is a dynamic physiological state which is evidenced by several transient changes. These can develop as various physical signs and symptoms that can affect the patients health, perceptions and interactions with others in the environment.
• The patients may not always understand the relevance of the adaptations of their bodies to the health of their fetuses. A gestational woman requires various levels of support throughout this time, such as medical monitoring or intervention, preventive care and physical and emotional assistance.
• The dental management of pregnant patients requires special attention.
• Dentists, for example, may delay certain elective procedures so that they coincide with the periods of pregnancy which are devoted to maturation versus organogenesis.
• At other times, the dental care professionals need to alter their normal pharmacological armamentarium to address the patients’ needs versus the foetal demands. Applying the basics of preventive dentistry at the primary level will broaden the scope of the prenatal care. Dentists should encourage all the patients of the childbearing ages to seek oral health counseling and examinations as soon as they learn that they are pregnant

Health workforce Statistics: Current Needs and Requirements
Introduction
Trained healthcare workforce is an important determinant of efficiency and outcomes of any health system as devised by WHO health systems approach. India one of the most populous country of the world has always felt a dire need of healthcare workforce even having one of the largest medical education and capacity building system. On the other hand we have a variety of health cadre namely from an ASHA to super specialized doctors. In our presentation we have critically analyzed the distribution of health workforce in India and its impacts on health and healthcare delivery for the mass of our society.
The Health Workforce in Nutshell
India faces an acute shortage of trained health workforce. India has a large basket of interventions to improve the healthcare but they are adversely effected by shortage of trained, motivated and supported health workforce. The shortages and misdistribution of health workforce have a large contribution to inequities in health outcomes. India’s health workforce is a combination of both registered, formal health-care providers and informal medical practitioners. We have a very unique health system with a large public health system and a blanket of juxtaposed private health care system. Similar situation is also present in training and education of health workforce. There is also a lack of data on the exact number of health care providers.
Issues
Quite a percentage of Indian population is spread in the rural areas but on the other hand the concentration of health care is in the urban system. The health care providers are highly concentrated in the urban area. Health worker densities are very low in rural settings when compared with urban areas. The next issue is lack of support to the health care providers practicing in the rural area and attraction of high income, support and provisions in the urban settings for the highly specialized workforce which includes doctors, dentist etc. At the national level, the aggregate density of doctors, nurses and midwives was 2.08 per 1000 population, which was lower than WHO’s critical shortage threshold of 2.28 .
Conclusion
In a concluding remark the production of health workforce has increased too many folds which has cost increased privatization of health education. On the other hand the public medical education system has not expanded at the required level. There is need to tap the potential in the private players with keep in mind stringent control of quality and cost. The increase in production is not going to resolve the issues of health worker availability and distribution. The need of the hour is to find sustainable measures to target the acute shortfall in the trained health workforce in India.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Report Back from SGO 2024: What’s the Latest in Cervical Cancer?bkling
Are you curious about what’s new in cervical cancer research or unsure what the findings mean? Join Dr. Emily Ko, a gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine, to learn about the latest updates from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer. Dr. Ko will discuss what the research presented at the conference means for you and answer your questions about the new developments.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
4. Introduction
Pregnancy is a major event in any woman's life.
A pregnant patient is not considered medically
compromised but consists of a unique set of
management for the dentist.
8/27/2015 4
5. Dental care should be given in such a way that it does not
adversely effect the fetus .
Hormonal changes during the period of pregnancy causes
changes in the body as well as the oral cavity.
All elective dental procedures can be delayed till
postpartum to avoid any risk to the developing fetus.
8/27/2015 5
6. It is still very important to maintain the pregnant woman's
current state of dental health and pregnancy is the ideal
opportunity to begin a preventive dental program.
Its also important to educate the pregnant patient about
the common problems noticed during pregnancy.
8/27/2015 6
8. Period of Pregnancy
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Normal pregnancy last for about forty weeks
and it can be divided into three stages-:
Zygote
It is from the time of fertilization to
implantation.
8/27/2015 8
9. Embryonic Period
It is from the second week to the eight
week.
Fetal Period-:
It is from the eight week upto parturition.
For practical purpose pregnancy may be
divided into three trimesters-:
First Trimester
Second Trimester
Third Trimester
8/27/2015 9
10. 1.First Trimester
During the first trimester formation of
organs and system occurs. The fetus is most susceptible to
malformations during this period. There is an increased risk of
effects by Teratogens.
8/27/2015 10
11. 2.Second Trimester
The majority of formation is complete and chances of
malformation are less. The organogenesis is complete. It
is considered to be a more safe period.
8/27/2015 11
12. 3. Third Trimester
The uterus expands with the growing fetus
and placenta. The fetus come to lie directly over the
inferior vena cava, femoral vessels and the Aorta.
8/27/2015 12
13. 8/27/2015 13
The First Trimester (0-12 Weeks)
The Second Trimester (13-28 Weeks)
The Third Trimester (29-40 Weeks)
15. Physiology
1. Endocrine
• Endocrine changes are the most significant basic
alterations that occur with pregnancy.
• This is due to the production of maternal and placental
hormones.
• Modification in activity of target organs.
• Most hormones rise at pregnancy.
8/27/2015 15
16. • Increase in maternal hormones estrogen &
progesterone
• Placental hormones are secreted.
• Prolactin increases.
• Follicle stimulating hormones decreases
• ACTH, TSH, GH – Increases to accommodate the increase
in BMR.
8/27/2015 16
17. 2.Cardiovascular System
• Blood volume increase 40%
• Cardiac output increase 30% to 40%
• Red blood cell volume increase to 15% to 20%
• Corresponding to increase in blood volume
1. High flow/low resistance circulation.
2. Tachycardia
3. Heart murmurs.
4. A benign systolic murmur develops in 90% of pregnant
women & disappears shortly after delivery- (physiologic).
8/27/2015 17
18. Blood changes -: Anemia
WBC increase due to neturophelia.
Fibrinogen, factor VII, VIII, IX, X & FSP increase – hyper
coagulation – thrombosis.
Pregnancy can worsen anemia particularly sickle cell
anemia
8/27/2015 18
19. 8/27/2015 19
3.Supine Hypotensive syndrome
Third trimester 10~15%
Compression of inferior vena cava & aorta
Decrease venous return to heart
Decrease uteroplacental perfusion and fetal distress
23. Manifests by an abrupt fall in BP,
-Bradycardia
-Sweating
- Nausea
- Weakness
-Air hunger
4.Respiratory System
• Reduced expiratory reserve volume
• Increased rate of respiration.
• Dysponea at supine position.
• Hyperemia and edema of respiratory tract.
8/27/2015 23
24. 5.Kidney and Liver
• Renal blood flow & glomerular filtration rate increases
about 50% from 4th to 7th months of gestation.
• Creatinine levels drop & increase frequency of urination.
• Blood flow to maternal liver is essentially unchanged
during pregnancy
• During pregnancy - kidney & liver of mother & fetus are
primary organs responsible for drug detoxification.
8/27/2015 24
25. 6.DIET
• Increase appetite & craving for unusual food.
• Taste alterations & increased gag response.
• 90% of pregnant women vulnerable to nausea & vomiting.
• Glycosuria & impaired glucose tolerance – gestational
diabetes.
7. Facial pigmentation ( chloasma or melasma
gravidarum)
8/27/2015 25
33. Dental Management
1.Diagnosis
• Absence of an expected menstrual period.
• Test – Latex inhibition test.
• Pelvic examination – uterine enlargement.
• Confirmation – By evidence of fetal heart tones &
ultrasound detection.
8/27/2015 33
34. 2. Medical Considerations
• Determination of general health with through a thorough
history.
• Current physician.
• History of Gestational Diabetes.
• Miscarriage
• Hypertension
• Morning sickness
• Contacting patients obstetrician for discussion
• about -;
1.Medical status
2.Dental need
3.Proposed dental treatment
8/27/2015 34
35. 3. General Guidelines
• Detailed history about the number of times patient has
been pregnant, number of children conceived, history of
abortion ( spontaneous and elective).
• Appointments to be kept short and the best chair position
is sitting up or left lateral position with the head of the
chair elevated.
• Elective dental treatment should be deferred to post term.
• Dental radiographs are best avoided. If unavoidable then
second trimester is preferred.
• Prescription of drugs to be done with care.

• Routine dental care.
THIRD TRIMESTER
8/27/2015 37
38. • Good Plaque control.
• Elective dental care is best avoided during the first
trimester because of potential vulnerability.
• Second trimester is the safest period in which routine
dental care can be provided.
• Control of any active disease.
• Eliminate potential problems that could occur later in
pregnancy or in immediate post partum period.
• Early part of third trimester is still good time to provide
routine dental care.
• Postpone elective dental care in third trimester.
8/27/2015 38
39. 6. Dental Radiographs
• Avoided especially during 1st trimester
• Safety –
1. Fast exposure technique (E speed film)
2. Filtration
3. Collimation (Rectangular Collimation)
4. Lead Aprons
5. High kilo voltage
6. Constant beams
• Radiographs to be used selectively and only when
necessary

Ideally, no drug should be administered during pregnancy
especially 1st trimester.
ALL DRUGS SHOULD BE AVOIDED UNLESS POTENIAL
BENEFIT OUT WEIGHS POTENTIAL RISKS.
8/27/2015 43
44. Principles of prescribing during pregnancy –
Whenever possible use non drug therapy.
Prescribe drugs only when definitely needed choose
the drug having best safety record over time.
Avoid newer drugs.
As far as possible, avoid medication in initial 1o
weeks of gestation
Use the lowest effective dose.
Use drug for the shortest period necessary.
If possible give drug intermittently.
8/27/2015 44
45. PHARMACOKINETICS IN PREGNANCY –
>Drug Absorption –
1. Slower drug absorption
2. Parenteral drug administration
3. Drug compliance poor
>Drug Metabolism –
1. Hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes are induced
2. Rapid metabolic degradation
>Drug Excretion –
1. Renal plasma flow increases by 100% & glomerular filtration rate by 70%
2. Rapid elimination
Most commonly used drugs in dental practice can be given during
pregnancy with relative safety.
8/27/2015 45
46. Food and Drug Admistration
Classification System
Controlled studies showed no risk to the fetus. This group limited to
multivitamins and prenatal vitamins , not mega vitamins.
Either animal studies have shown no fetal effects , but there is no
controlled human studies during pregnancy, or animal studies have
shown adverse effect that was not confirmed in controlled studies
during first trimester. Penicillins are in this family.
There are no adequate studies, or animal studies have shown adverse
effect , but controlled studies in women are not available. Potential
benefit must be greater than the risk to the fetus if these medications
are used.
8/27/2015 46
47. Evidence of fetal risk is proven, but potential benefit must be
thought to be outweigh the risks.
Proven fetal risk clearly outweighs any potential benefits.

1st trimester and last month of third trimester
2. Anxiolytic: nitrous oxide
Interferes with vitamin B12 and folate metabolism
Chronic nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation – cellular
abnormalities in animals.
8/27/2015 52
53. GUIDELINES:
• Restrict use to second and third trimester.
• Limit duration of exposure<30min.
• Use 50% oxygen to avoid hypoxia.
• Avoid repeated exposure.
• Scavenging in dental surgery to minimize staff
• exposure
8/27/2015 53
54. Warfarin
Warfarin is contraindicated in pregnancy.
It passes through the placental barrier and may cause bleeding
in the fetus.
Warfarin use during pregnancy is commonly associated with
spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, neonatal death, and preterm
birth.
8/27/2015 54
55. Fetal Warfarin Syndrome
When warfarin (or another coumarin derivative) is given
during the first trimester—particularly between the sixth
and ninth weeks of pregnancy it leads to Fetal Warfarin
Sndrome.
It is a constellation of birth defects
Also known as warfarin embryopathy, or coumarin
embryopathy.
8/27/2015 55
56. Symptoms of Fetal warfarin syndrome
Nasal hypoplasia .
Depressed nasal bridge.
Deep groove between nostril and nasal tip.
Stippling of uncalcified epiphyses during first year.
Mild hypoplasia of nail.
8/27/2015 56
58. Penicillin
FDAB
All trimester are safe
No teratogenic
Pass the placenta
Inhibit cell wall synthesis
8/27/2015 58
59. Tetracycline
It chelates with calcium.
Gets deposited in the skeleton of the fetus resulting in
depression of bone growth
Discoloration of teeth.
Maternal fatty liver degeneration.
FDAD
8/27/2015 59
64. Aspirin
Oral clefts and other defects
Intrauterine death, growth retardation, pulmonary
hypertension
Longer pregnancies & longer the average period of labor
Tetralogy of Fallot
Increase the risk of antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage.
8/27/2015 64
65. Diclofenac Sodium
Teratogenic in some animals and found to cause cleft
palate.
At maternal toxic doses it causes intrauterine growth
retardation (IUGR).
It can decreased fetal survival chances and may
prolonged the pregnancy.
8/27/2015 65
66. No well controlled human data is available when used
during first trimester.
No association with congenital anomalies has been
reported.
If used in third trimester can cause constriction of ductus
arteriosus with subsequent neonatal pulmonary
hypertension and impaired fetal renal function.
8/27/2015 66
67. Ibuprofen
No adequate human data is available when the exposure
occurs in 1st trimester.
It has been reported that ibuprofen has a doubtful
association with some congenital anomalies
(anencephaly, cerebral palsy, microphthalmia, nasal cleft,
and tooth staining) and fetal death.
8/27/2015 67
68. Use of the drug in 3rd trimester causes constriction of
ductus arteriosus with subsequent pulmonary
hypertension and oligohydramnios by affecting fetal renal
function.
Inhibits labour, prolongs pregnancy.
8/27/2015 68
69. Corticosteroid
Cleft palate
Inhibit brain growth
Indicated only for treatment of severe systemic maternal
illness
8/27/2015 69
70. TERATOGENICITY:
Capacity of drug to cause fetal abnormalities when
administered to pregnant mother
Thalidomide disaster (1558-1961) resulting in thousand of
babies born with PHOCOMELIA.
Type of malformation depends on –
Drug
Stage of exposure of teratogen
Blood level
Duration for which drug remains in maternal circulation.
8/27/2015 70
71. Avoidance of teratogens
Before implantation (14days) death of the ovum
14-60 days major morphologic defects (organogenesis)
60 days later function impairment (reduce intellect)
8/27/2015 71
73. FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME(FAS)
Term given to spectrum of disorders that can result
when pregnant women consumes alcohol
Serious fetal damage caused by alcohol – single
exposure can cause fetal brain damage
DIAGNOSIS
Triad of abnormalities in new born
Cluster of cranio-facial abnormalities ( 1st trimester)
CNS dysfunction
8/27/2015 73
75. Pre-&/or post natal stunting of growth
Hearing, language & speech disorders may become
evident as child ages
INCIDENCE
.5-1 per 1000 births in general population
African, American
Lower social economic status of mother.
FAE(Fetal alcohol defects)
8/27/2015 75
76. SMOKING:
Raise the risk of –
1)Still births
2)Diminishes infants birth weight
3)Impairs child’s subsequent mental and physical
development
8/27/2015 76
77. DENTAL AMALGAM:
Research has failed to establish any link between amalgam
use and systemic disease.
European countries and Canada-recommends avoiding the
placement of amalgam
Amalgam restorations release mercury vapor when
chewed on or brushed.
Some of mercury vapor is inhaled and some may dissolve
in saliva and be swallowed but most amalgam entering in
body is excreted.
8/27/2015 77
78. Small amount accumulate in kidneys, to very much lesser
extent in brain, lungs, liver & GIT.
Mercury can cross the placenta to fetus & detected in
breast milk.
No evidence of link between amalgam use & birth defects
or still births.
It may be prudent to avoid it during pregnancy.
8/27/2015 78
86. PREGNANCY
TUMOUR
•Seen in 1% gravid women.
•Hyperplastic Response.
•Labial aspect of interdental
papilla.
•Asymptomatic.
•Trauma by brushing.
•Bleeding.
8/27/2015 86
87. Periodontal Disease
4. Facial pigmentation (Chloasma or Melasma Gravidarum).
5. Hypersensitive gag reflex –
In combination with morning sickness may constitute to episodes of
regurgitation leading to halitosis & enamel erosion.
6. Dental caries
7. Tooth mobility –
( Localized or generalized) uncommon finding during pregnancy.
8. Tooth loss
• Misconception
• Prescription of calcium
8/27/2015 87
88. Pregnancy and Periodontitis
• Peridontitis has a peculiar association with pregnancy.
• It may alter the normal Cytokine and hormone regulated
gestation which could lead to preterm labour
,premature rupture of membranes, and preterm birth.
• Studies have connected gum disease to low birth weight
and prematurity.
• Dental infections have also been linked to miscarriage.
8/27/2015 88
89. • Chronic periodontal disease and the presence of the
microorganisms, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis ;
Tannerella forsythia ; and Eikenella corrodens were
significantly associated with preeclampsia in pregnant
women.
• Pregnancy gingivitis can easily turn into a periodontal
disease.
• If the infection enters the bloodstream, the body
produces chemicals to fight it off, which may induce
early labour.

98. Pregnancy is a special event in a women’s life & hence it is an
emotionally charged one……so establishing a good PATIENT-DENTIST
RELATIONSHIP that encourage OPENESS,HONESTY & TRUST is an
integral part of successful management.
THIS KIND OF RELATIONSHIP DECREASES STRESS & ANXIETY FOR
BOTH PATIENT & DENTIST!!!!!!!!
