3. Two Major Questions 1. Does the presence of periodontal (or oral) infections increase the risk of experiencing adverse pregnancy outcomes? [Risk factor question] 2. Does the treatment of periodontal (or oral) infections decrease the risk of experiencing adverse pregnancy outcomes? [Intervention question]
4. Systemic Diseases Caused by Oral Infections (1916) • Ophthalmic Disturbances (infectious conjunctivitis, suppurating keratitis, scleritis, cyclitis, iritis, retinitis, optic neuritis, glaucoma) • Aural Disturbances (otitis media, otlagia) • Diseases of the Alimentary Canal (septic gastritis, septic enteritis, colitis, appendicitis, proctitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers) • Diseases of the Blood (pernicious anemia, septic anemia) • Infectious Diseases of the Heart (pericarditis, myo- carditis, endocarditis) • Affections of the Nervous System (neuritis, trifacial neuralgia, chorea, mental depression and melancholia) • Diseases of the Joints (acute arthritis, gouty arthritis)

8. Initiation & Progression of Periodontal Disease (The Health Gingivitis Periodontitis Paradigm) • Shallow gingival sulcus • Apical termination of JE at CEJ • Shallow periodontal pocket • Apical termination of JE at CEJ • Inflamed connective tissue • Deepened periodontal pocket • Loss of CT attachment & bone JE on root surface • Inflamed connective tissue
9. Clinical Appearance of Healthy & Diseased Periodontal Tissues No signs of inflammation No gingival recession Shallow probing depths Normal architecture (shape) Signs of inflammation Gingival recession Deep probing depths (pockets) Abnormal architecture
10. Purulent Exudate (Pus) is Often Seen in Cases of Chronic Periodontitis Redness & Swelling Purulent Exudate (Pus) Purulent exudate is a sign of inflammation. 55 y.o. WF
11. Bleeding on probing (BOP) is sign of periodontal inflammation. D C BOP occurs because the epithelial lining of the pocket wall is thin & often ulcerated (arrow). a D = Dentin C = Cementum a = artifact x16

13. BREAKING THROUGH: When oral bacteria in the mother’s blood breaches the placenta and reaches the fetus, it triggers an immune and inflammatory response, stressing the unborn child. Infections may account for up to 50% of premature births. “ What Every Woman Needs to Know” Steven Offenbacher Scientific American (Special Supplement: October, 2006) Campylobacter rectus Bergeyella sp. clone AF14 (AK152)
14. A higher percentage of fetal cord blood samples from preterm infants (20.0%) are positive for IgM against C. rectus than those obtained from term infants (6.3%) [P < 0002]. S OM CM 0.1 µm (Borinski & Holt. Infect Immun 1990;58:2770-2776.) (Sára & Sleytr. J Bacteriol 2000;182:859-868.) 100 nm S-Layer of C. rectus Production of IgM by the fetus clearly shows that certain oral bacteria cross the placenta and gain access to the immune system of the baby.

15. Lines of Evidence Suggesting Periodontal Disease as a Risk Factor for Preterm Birth & Low Birthweight Natal Tooth; Navajo Baby Girl; 1-day old • Some epidemiologic studies • Detection of fetal cord blood IgM against C. rectus and P. intermedia .* • Many plausible mechanisms by which periodontal bacteria and inflammatory mediators (PGE 2 ) might trigger preterm birth. • Preliminary intervention data suggest that periodontal treatment lowers risk.** *Madianos et al.

25. Periodontal therapy may reduce the risk of preterm low birth weight in women with periodontal disease: A randomized controlled study. – I. (López et al. J Periodontol 2002;73:911-924.) • Purpose was to determine if periodontal therapy in pregnant women with periodontal disease reduces the risk of preterm low birth weight (PLBW). • 400 pregnant women were enrolled, with 200 assigned to a periodontal Treatment Group and 200 were used controls. • Treatment consisted of oral hygiene instructions, SRP, and once daily rinsing with 0.12% chlorhexidine; completed before 28 weeks of gestation. The Control Group was not treated until after delivery. • 163 women in the Treatment Group and 188 in the Control Group completed the study.

30. “ We have hypothesized that once the inflam- matory cascade is activated during pregnancy, interventions targeting this pathway may be ineffective in reducing the rate of preterm birth ( Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2005;159:89-90.). Treatment during pregnancy may be too late; it is possible that treatment either before preg- nancy (in nulliparous women) or in the period between pregnancies (for multiparous women, especially those with a history of preterm birth) may yield more promising results.” Goldenberg RL, Culhane JF.

34. Additional (Speculative) Conclusions that can be made from the OPT Results 1. Although the periodontal treatment that was provided was the standard of care (i.e., OHI, SRP, monthly evaluation + additional scaling “as needed”), it was insufficient to control the periodontal disease . The post- treatment presence of a high % of sites with BOP means that the patients were still infected. 2. Treatment may have been too late . 3. More frequent treatment may be needed .
