Proper positioning helps address issues like supine hypotension. Emergency situations like syncope, morning sickness and seizures require specific management to protect mother and fetus.
An overview on the principle managements and considerations for treating a pregnant patient in the dental chamber. This presentation includes the possible diseases, complications, drug therapies and treatment plans proposed by various authors in treating dental diseases during pregnancy.
Dental health during pregnancy and how to avoid common dental problems in pre...Dr. Rajat Sachdeva
Pregnancy is a beautiful phase in the life of women. It’s a harbinger of hope, joy and unbound excitement. So, naturally, the level of care is greater during the period to ensure smooth arrival of the baby. To some, it’s also a phase when lots of doubt surface seeking answers and asking caution on the part of pregnant ladies.
Whether or not a burning question comes in the mind of every pregnant women dealing with dental problems that is dental treatment safe during pregnancy, it is something that you must know to approach the most wonderful phase in life with aplomb. The answer is YES! There is no risk whatsoever in undergoing dental work when you’re pregnant. But then, the better your oral health during pregnancy the healthier you baby will be.
Things to Keep in Mind During Pregnancy :
Dental treatment is safe during pregnancy and you needn’t bother a bit about that.
You can get dental treatment done any time during pregnancy without any worry.
However, the period between weeks 14 through 20 is perhaps the best time to get done elective dental treatment during pregnancy.
Dental treatment during second trimester carries less risk of side effects than on other period.
Immediate treatment should be sought for oral pain or swelling without waiting for the right period during pregnancy.
It’s important to let the dentist know any prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs you are taking so that right type of medicine can be prescribed for you.
You should never worry about the safety of the numbing medications or anesthetic or anesthesia used by your dentist during the procedure as it will always be safe for you, and your baby.
And getting an x-ray will be safe during pregnancy

The document concludes by discussing infective endocarditis and recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis during certain dental procedures to prevent bacteremia.
This document discusses risk assessment in periodontal disease. It defines risk factors, determinants, indicators, and markers. Major risk factors discussed include smoking, diabetes, pathogenic bacteria, genetic factors, age, gender, and socioeconomic status. It also covers risk indicators like HIV/AIDS, osteoporosis, and infrequent dental visits. Recent advances in risk assessment tools are introduced, including the Oral Health Information Suite, Periodontal Risk Calculator, and the Hexagonal Risk Diagram for Periodontal Risk Assessment. Risk is assessed at the patient, mouth, tooth, and site levels.
The prognosis is a prediction of the probable course,
duration, and outcome of a disease based on a general
knowledge of the pathogenesis of the disease and the
presence of risk factors for the disease.
1. Topical fluorides provide fluoride ions that are incorporated into dental enamel, enhancing remineralization and inhibiting demineralization.
2. Common topical fluoride treatments include varnishes, gels, foams, rinses, and mouthwashes. Fluoride varnish is the only topical treatment recommended for young children.
3. Newer treatments like silver diamine fluoride can arrest dental caries by killing bacteria, depositing a protective layer, and converting enamel to a more acid-resistant form. Slow-release fluoride devices provide long-term fluoride exposure without high serum levels.
Medical conditions that can directly affect the provision of dental care and/...Ruhi Kashmiri
Medical conditions that can directly affect the provision of dental care and/or consequences of dental treatment. In paediatric dentistry, such children are known as children with special needs and require extra attention for maintainence of optimum oral health.
This document discusses the relationship between endodontic (pulp) infections and periodontal (gum/bone) infections. It classifies lesions as having primary endodontic origin, primary periodontal origin, or a combination of both. Communication between the infections can occur through the root canal, accessory canals, or dentin tubules. Proper diagnosis is important to determine if endodontic treatment, periodontal treatment, or both are needed. Factors like symptoms, tooth vitality, x-ray appearance, and probing depths help with diagnosis. Treatment involves completing root canals first if endodontic involvement exists, then following with periodontal treatment if needed. Guided tissue regeneration may aid healing of combined lesions after
Dental professionals should understand the high prevalence and underdiagnosis of psychiatric disorders and their association with increased dental problems and reduced treatment compliance. Psychiatric conditions like chronic facial pain, body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders, dental phobia, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, dementia and intellectual disabilities can all negatively impact oral health. Effective treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach including counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication and referral to a psychiatrist or psychologist when needed. Dental professionals play an important role in the oral health of those with mental illness through prevention, accommodation for individual needs, and collaboration with mental health practitioners.
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of fluoride varnish in preventing early childhood caries. 376 young children were randomized to receive parental counseling plus fluoride varnish twice per year, once per year, or counseling only. Fluoride varnish reduced caries incidence, with greater reductions seen with more frequent applications. While some children were lost to follow up, the study was otherwise well-designed and valid for assessing the outcome of interest.
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.

Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) refers to tooth displacement resulting from a disturbance in factors that maintain normal tooth position. PTM is common in periodontal patients, with prevalence studies finding rates of 30-55%. The primary factor in PTM is periodontal bone loss resulting from periodontal disease. Other factors include occlusal changes from tooth loss, soft tissue pressures, oral habits, and periapical or gingival inflammation. Treatment involves periodontal therapy, sometimes with adjunctive orthodontics or prosthodontics, while prevention focuses on periodontal disease control and management of predisposing occlusal and habit factors.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. There are two main types - Type 1 caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells and Type 2 associated with genetic and lifestyle factors causing insulin resistance. Complications include retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Management involves lifestyle changes, oral medications or insulin therapy depending on the type and severity of diabetes. Dental professionals must consider medical history, appointment timing, diet and stress control when treating diabetic patients to prevent hypoglycemic emergencies.
The document discusses oral health challenges during pregnancy. It notes increased risks of gingivitis, dental caries, and pregnancy tumors due to hormonal changes. Proper oral hygiene and dental care during pregnancy is important for maternal and infant health and can help prevent complications like preterm births.

This document discusses various disturbances in tooth eruption, including premature eruption of primary or permanent teeth, eruption sequestrum which is a small bone fragment over an erupting molar, delayed eruption which can be caused by conditions like rickets or genetic factors, multiple unerupted teeth, embedded or impacted teeth due to crowding or premature loss of primary teeth, and ankylosed primary teeth that fail to exfoliate due to bone fusion. Causes, clinical presentation, and treatment are described for each disturbance.
This document discusses the relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease. It defines the two main types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, and describes their causes and characteristics. It explores how diabetes can increase susceptibility to periodontal disease by impairing host defenses and altering the subgingival microbiota. Specifically, it examines how hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products associated with diabetes can impact immune cells, collagen metabolism, vascular function, and wound healing in the periodontium. The two-way relationship between diabetes and periodontitis is described, whereby periodontal infections can worsen glycemic control in diabetes patients. Guidelines are provided for managing periodontal disease in both well-controlled and poorly-controlled diabetes patients
The document discusses several physiological changes that occur during pregnancy and their implications for dental treatment. It notes increased blood flow to the kidneys and liver for drug detoxification during pregnancy. Common complaints include nausea, increased urination, and potential complications like preeclampsia. For dental treatment, it recommends obtaining a thorough medical history, consulting the obstetrician, keeping appointments short, and deferring elective treatment until after pregnancy. Drug administration requires consideration of potential fetal abnormalities and FDA categories.

Review on dental management of pregnant patientTanzir Hasan
This document summarizes dental management considerations for pregnant patients. It discusses common oral health issues during pregnancy like gingivitis and hormonal changes. Treatment timing and safety of medications, radiographs, local anesthetics and other aspects of care are reviewed. The second trimester is generally safest for non-urgent dental work. Analgesics like acetaminophen are preferred over NSAIDs in the third trimester. Antibiotics like penicillin are usually considered safe. Nitrous oxide should be avoided in the first trimester.
Anesthesia Consideration in Pediatric and ObstetricsRifhan Kamaruddin
Pediatric patients have important physiological differences compared to adults that impact anesthesia care. Their respiratory systems have higher minute ventilation, oxygen consumption, and risk of airway closure. Blood volume is higher in neonates compared to older children and adults. The liver and kidneys are immature, increasing risk of hypoglycemia and difficulty excreting drugs. Thermoregulation is less developed, requiring measures to prevent hypothermia. Pre-operative assessment includes medical history, physical exam, and investigations to evaluate risk. Post-operative care focuses on preventing nausea, vomiting and adequately managing pain.
[1] A woman's life cycle is influenced by hormones from puberty through menopause, which impact oral and periodontal health.
[2] During puberty, pregnancy, menstruation, use of oral contraceptives, and menopause, hormone levels fluctuate and can cause gingival inflammation and other oral manifestations if not properly managed.
[3] Periodontal therapy must be customized for each patient based on their stage of life and hormone levels, with treatments adjusted accordingly to provide optimal care while avoiding risks associated with hormonal changes.
This document summarizes key medical considerations for providing dental treatment during pregnancy. It discusses maternal concerns, fetal concerns, guidelines for radiography, and classifications and safety of medications. The three stages of pregnancy are outlined, with the first trimester posing the highest risk. Procedures should generally be avoided then unless necessary, and provided with caution in the second trimester when risk is lowest. In the third trimester, focus is on the upcoming birth and mother's comfort.
This document discusses endocrine disorders that can occur during pregnancy, including thyroid disorders, parathyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, and pituitary disorders. Some key points discussed include:
- Thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine disorders in pregnancy, with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism posing risks to maternal and fetal health if not properly treated.
- Gestational diabetes is the most common endocrinopathy in pregnancy overall.
- Parathyroid, adrenal, and pituitary disorders are less frequently encountered but can impact the mother and fetus if not managed appropriately.
- Physiologic changes during pregnancy can also impact the endocrine system and complicate diagnosis and treatment of disorders.

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
An academic presentation on Dental considerations, interventions and precautions to ensure a safe pregnancy. The presentation deals with physiology, complications and dental considerations for treating a pregnant patient.
Anticoagulation in prosthatic valves with pregnancyShah Abbas
This document discusses anticoagulation management for pregnant women with prosthetic heart valves. It notes that less than 1% of pregnant women have prosthetic valves. Pregnancy causes physiological changes that increase cardiovascular demands. The risks of thrombosis are higher during pregnancy due to hypercoagulability. Options for anticoagulation include warfarin, unfractionated heparin, and low molecular weight heparin. Warfarin carries risks of fetal complications if used in the first trimester, so alternatives like heparin are preferred during that period. Careful anticoagulant management throughout pregnancy and the peripartum period can help reduce risks to both mother and fetus.
The document summarizes dental management considerations for treating pregnant patients. It discusses the physical, physiological, and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy and how they may impact dental treatment. Key points addressed include limiting routine x-rays and non-emergency procedures in the first trimester, focusing on hygiene and necessary treatment in the second trimester when risk is lowest, and providing only emergency care in the third trimester due to patient discomfort. Goals of treatment are to develop efficient care that maintains safety for both the mother and developing fetus.
This document discusses the management of periodontal treatment for medically compromised patients, including those with diabetes, hypertension, and pregnancy. It provides guidelines for treating patients with diabetes, such as ensuring good glycemic control and checking blood glucose levels before and during procedures. For hypertensive patients, it recommends consulting the physician and monitoring blood pressure. For pregnant patients, it advises focusing on nonsurgical treatments like scaling and cleaning during the second trimester and delaying other procedures until after pregnancy. The document emphasizes the need for careful management of medically compromised patients during dental treatment.
This document summarizes ocular changes that can occur during pregnancy. It discusses both physiological changes like increased pigmentation and pathological changes like worsening of diabetic retinopathy. Physiological changes include lowered intraocular pressure and darkened skin around the eyes. Pathological changes may affect structures like the retina, optic nerve and lens. Conditions like preeclampsia can cause retinal vascular changes. Managing preexisting eye conditions and monitoring for complications are important during pregnancy.
Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is increasing rapidly in sub-Saharan Africa and other developing countries, putting stress on health care systems. An estimated 16,000 people are infected with HIV daily, including 3 million women. Countries like Rwanda have found 18.3% of women attending antenatal care to be HIV positive. Poverty is also related to AIDS as a cause of death due to poor health care, availability of drugs, crowding, and malnutrition. Prevention efforts should focus on health education, abstinence, faithfulness, screening blood, and reducing mother-to-child transmission.
This document discusses ocular changes that can occur during pregnancy. It describes both physiological changes like increased pigmentation around the eyes and pathological changes like worsening of diabetic retinopathy. Physiological changes are caused by hormonal fluctuations and include low intraocular pressure and corneal thickness changes. Pathological changes may affect existing eye conditions or be new issues related to systemic diseases complicating pregnancy like preeclampsia. Careful ophthalmic examination is important for monitoring issues that could impact vision.
Non Obstetric Surgery in Pregnant Patients discusses considerations for anesthesia when performing non-obstetric surgery on pregnant patients. Anesthesiologists must provide safe anesthesia for both the mother and fetus by considering the physiological changes of pregnancy and avoiding fetal asphyxia, teratogenic drugs, and preterm labor. Regional anesthesia techniques like spinal or epidural blocks are preferred when possible due to advantages like limited drug exposure to the fetus. Surgery should generally be performed in the second trimester to balance maternal and fetal risks. Fetal monitoring is recommended during procedures to assess fetal well-being.
Pregnancy in end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis poses challenges for both mother and fetus. While outcomes have improved, the stage of renal failure is a main predictive factor for complications. Delayed diagnosis due to amenorrhea can increase risk of teratogenic medication exposure. Residual renal function may improve outcomes for conception before dialysis. Pregnancies require intensive dialysis, medication management for hypertension/anemia, nutritional supplementation, and close monitoring of fluid, electrolytes and growth. Despite risks, successful deliveries are possible with optimized multidisciplinary management throughout pregnancy and delivery.
This document discusses various pharmacotherapeutic agents used in obstetrics, including oxytocics, antihypertensive medications, and diuretics. It provides details on the mechanisms of action, indications, contraindications, preparations, and administration of oxytocin, ergot alkaloids, prostaglandins, methyldopa, labetalol, prazocin, hydralazine, nifedipine, and furosemide. The roles of these drugs in induction of labor, postpartum hemorrhage, and treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension are summarized. Adverse effects on both mother and fetus are also outlined for each class of medication.
Dental Procedure (Tooth extraction) During Pregnancy.pptxssuserd85ab4
During pregnancy, dental procedures like tooth extractions may be needed. While surgical procedures are generally delayed until delivery if possible, tooth extractions during pregnancy are common. It is important for dentists to be aware of the physiological changes during pregnancy that can affect dental treatment. With proper precautions and using antibiotics and local anesthetics that are considered safe during pregnancy, tooth extractions can be performed to prevent further dental issues.
This document discusses the management of pregnant women on hemodialysis. It notes that physiological changes during pregnancy can impact kidney function, but intensive hemodialysis of more than 20 hours per week is recommended to reduce risks. Close monitoring of blood pressure, nutrition, mineral levels, anemia and fetal growth is important. Hemodialysis prescription should be tailored to each patient's needs, with adjustments to dialysate composition and blood flow. Vaginal delivery at 38 weeks is typically recommended unless complications arise. A multidisciplinary team of nephrologists, obstetricians and dietitians helps optimize outcomes for these high-risk pregnancies.
Oral manifestations can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus. Oral lesions occur in 5-20% of Crohn's patients and may precede or occur simultaneously with intestinal symptoms. A literature review found 15 papers describing oral manifestations of Crohn's such as indurated lesions, cobblestoning, mucogingivitis, and aphthous stomatitis, which are characteristic features that can help diagnose Crohn's through histopathological examination of oral tissues and monitoring disease activity over time.
This document discusses oral biopsy procedures. It begins by defining biopsy as examining living tissue microscopically for diagnosis. Reasons for biopsy include suspicious lesions persisting over 2 weeks without cause, characteristics of malignancy, or non-responsive inflammation. Biopsy types discussed are incisional, excisional, punch, fine needle aspiration and brush. Key steps of biopsy procedures are also outlined. The document emphasizes the importance of complete patient data, history and specimen description for accurate diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration cytology is described as a useful screening tool for oral lesions.
This medical document discusses several chronic ulcerative lesions and conditions affecting the skin and soft tissues, including pyoderma vegetans, pyostomatitis vegetans, papulonecrotic tuberculid, bullous pemphigoid, lichenoid actinic keratosis, eosinophilic granuloma, and sialometaplasia. It also mentions squamous cell carcinoma.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) involve pain and dysfunction of the jaw muscles and joints. Common symptoms include facial pain, limited jaw movement, and jaw noises. TMD has various causes like trauma, stress, and hormone fluctuations. Treatment involves behavioral therapies, exercises, appliances, and sometimes medications or surgery to address pain and restrict jaw dysfunction. As a complex disorder with physical and psychosocial components, TMD is best managed with a biopsychosocial approach.
Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is an abnormal reactive proliferation of the surface epithelium that extends into the underlying connective tissue, mimicking a neoplastic growth. It is usually a secondary condition seen in response to chronic irritation or inflammation from diseases, infections, wounds, or tumors. Histologically, PEH shows irregular tongue-like projections of squamous epithelium into the connective tissue with some cellular atypia but no true malignancy. It most commonly occurs on the gingiva, palate, and tongue as a reaction to conditions like chronic wounds, fungal infections, granular cell tumors, or lichen planus.
This document provides a 3-step algorithm for diagnosing oral exophytic lesions:
1. Determine the onset and course of the lesion which can indicate inflammatory hyperplasias, benign or malignant tumors, or infections.
2. Examine the location, mobility, and radiographic features of the lesion which can provide clues to whether it is peripheral or central in location and if there are signs of periosteal involvement or tissue invasion.
3. Evaluate the characteristics of the lesion such as its surface, base, and consistency which when combined with location and features can indicate possibilities like inflammatory hyperplasias, benign or malignant tumors, cysts, or infections.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Pregnancy and dentistry
1. Pregnancy and Dentistry
Dr. Marziye. Sehatpour
Oral and maxillofacial medicine specialist
Semnan Dental School
2. Stages of Pregnancy
• 1st trimester- 1-12 weeks/ first 3 months: Phase of Fetal organ
formation hence avoid elective dental treatment where possible.
• 2nd trimester- 13-24 weeks/ 3rd to 6th month: Fetal growth and
maturation. Safest time to provide preventive and interceptive dental care
• 3rd trimester- 25-40 weeks/ 6th to 9th month: Concerns associated with
fetus and easy parturition. Dental treatments should be of short duration
and for only dental emergencies to prevent stress induction on expectant
mother
3. Effects of hormonal changes in pregnant mother
relevant to the dental practitioner
4. Effects of cardiovascular changes
• Cardiac output and pulse rate
continuously increases and peaks at 3rd
trimester (30-50% above normal)
• Systolic and diastolic blood pressure
drops by 10-15mmgHg in the first
trimester but returns to normal in the
second trimester
• Patient may develop systolic murmur
limited to gestational period
5. Hematological changes
• During the 2nd trimester, there is an increase in
plasma volume over RBC count which dilutes
the blood and reduces Hematocrit value
• There is marked increase in clotting factors
resulting in hypercoagulability and run the risk
of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary
Embolism
• Despite the significant changes that occur to
the coagulation system, standard coagulation
tests prothrombin time (PT), international
normalized ratio (INR), activated partial
thromboplastin time (aPTT)] do not change
during pregnancy or are very slightly decreased
6. Respiratory System Changes
• There is increased respiratory minute volume (up to 40%) during the
first trimester due to progesterone induced respiratory alkalosis.
• There is decreased respiratory lung movement due to enlarged
uterus during the third trimester.
Both situations may indicate dyspnea (difficulty in breathing) but are
physiologic responses
• Increased estrogen concentration may lead to rhinitis, sinusitis and
other upper respiratory tract infections
7. Genitourinary System Changes
• Glomerular filtration rate and and plasma
flow increase. This in addition to the
uterus restricting the distention of the
urinary bladder results in frequent
micturition. (Bladder Compression)
• In 2nd and 3rd trimesters the patient should
be asked to empty their bladders prior to
treatment. During long dental procedures,
office temperature should be regulated to
at or above standard r.t.p. Otherwise low
temperatures can trigger cold diuresis and
trigger micturition reflex in the patient
8. • Around the 3rd trimester, uterine enlargement compresses inferior vena cava and
restricts venous return hence patient may experience postural hypotension in supine
position (Supine Hypotensive Syndrome)
Symptoms:
Sweating
Nausea
Weakness
Sense of lack of air
Other symptoms:
• Drop in blood pressure
• Bradycardia
• Possible loss of consciousness
9. Management of Supine Hypotensive Syndrome
• Caused by excess supination of the dental unit after seating the patient
• The patient exhibits sweating, nausea, fatigue and dyspnea
• Examinations may present hypotension, bradycardia and syncope
• Compression results in lymphatic channel obstruction and pedal edema
• Immediate Treatment
• Place the patient with head above feet
• Elevate right hip with a pillow and shift the uterine weight off the vena cava to the
left side (left lateral displacement)
• Roll the patient onto her left side
10. • Facial changes as melasma "mask of pregnancy," appearing as bilateral
brown patches in the mid-face begin during the 1st trimester and are seen
in up to 73% of pregnant women
11. Parathyroid Hormone increased
• To increase calcium uptake to facilitate for fetal skeletal development.
This results in decreased serum calcium in mothers.
12. Pregnancy and Asthma in Dental Practice
• pregnant people with pre-existing and/or comorbid asthma, pneumonia,
or other respiratory issues may be more prone to disease exacerbation
and respiratory decompensation during pregnancy
• Bronchodilator inhalers have been classified as safe during pregnancy.
• In severe asthma, the use of oral corticosteroids, magnesium sulfate and beta agonists are
recommended- Medscape
• Oxygen intake should be closely monitored to prevent maternal hypoxia
and maintain fetal oxygenation
• NSAIDs should be given with precaution instead of Tramadol. Although
NSAIDs stimulate bronchoconstriction, its benefits outweigh the risks of
neonatal drug dependence induced by tramadol
13. Pancreatic Insulin changes
• Human placental lactogen (hPL) conserves blood glucose for neonates and in some
cases cause gestational diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in the mother
• GDM is associated with significantly increased risks of maternal and infant
morbidity, including preeclampsia, and periodontitis induced by constant
inflammatory response and state of insulin resistance (caused by hPL) and in
uncontrolled cases with existing periodontal conditions; tooth mobility
• Pregnancy does NOT cause periodontitis but aggravates existing ones
14. Adrenal Gland Secretions
• Increase estrogen by 10 fold and
• progesterone by 30 folds
• There is increased secretion of Estrogen, Progesterone and Cortisol (steroid). Steady
increase of steroids may result in the formation of
pregnancy granuloma in 1st trimester. Repeated
irritation with circulating steroids lead to
proliferation of the lesion
• The lesion is not associated with microorganism
related infections and hence should only be
excised if it becomes very large (>2cm) or
becomes infected.
• Laser excision is reported to be well tolerated in
pregnancy without any adverse effects
• Plaque control, scaling, curettage are the
treatment of choice otherwise
15. • hormone induced vascular permeability changes
may induce gingivitis and spontaneous gum
bleeding during 2nd and 3rd trimester of
pregnancy
Management include scaling and curettage during
2nd trimester and oral hygiene instructions
16. Gastrointestinal Tract Changes
• Acid Reflux
• Progesterone slows down intestinal motility and raises intragastric pressure.
This results in esophageal reflux, nausea, vomiting. During this time a patient
is more prone to have dental erosion if the esophageal reflux is uncontrolled
with antacids & other PPIs
• During first Trimester, the patient may experience hyperemesis gravidarum
(morning sickness). such patient should NOT be given an early morning
appointment
17. Salivary changes
• Salivary flow decreases (Dry mouth) during the 1st and
3rd trimester leading to reduced buffering
abilities and increased cariogenic activity. Topical
fluoride may be prescribed to control such activities
while also benefitting the fetus from reduced risks of
caries
• Dry mouth results in increased incidences of oral
candidiasis. This should be managed by cleaning the
infected regions and applying topical antifungal
agents
• Salivary flow increases (ptyalism) during 2nd
trimester
18. Questions that a dentist may ask
• Can I take x-rays?
• Can I inject local anesthesia with epinephrine?
• What medications can I prescribe?
• Are topical agents safe?
• When should I perform necessary procedures?
• Can I use mercury restorations?
19. Dental Considerations
• timing of treatment for pregnant patients
• dental radiation exposure
• use of local anesthetics
• prescription of common antibiotics and analgesics
• nitrous oxide gas administration
20. Dental Radiography and Pregnancy
Everyday radiation
• According to the NRC, the average American receives 0.62 rads per
year, half of which is from background and cosmic radiation.
• In Some Indian regions, the average annual radiation is reported to be
4.5 mGy (0.45 rads) while in radiation prone regions it can go upto 10
mGy (1 rads)
• In some Chinese regions the average annual radiation dose is 6.4 mSv
(0.64 rads)
21. Radiation risks in Pregnancy
• Most biological responses to radiation occur during the 1st trimester,
mainly the first two weeks (upto 6th week) any dose below 25 rads
(250 mGy) will NOT likely cause spontaneous abortion
• Studies also suggest A radiation dose of 500 mGy (50 rads) in the 1st
trimester, when organogenesis is initiated) causes congenital fetal
abnormalities
• After 16th week of conception, the safety threshold dose rises to 50-
70 rads (<700 mGy)
22. • exposure to the brain from 4 bitewings is approximately 0.07 mGy
(0.007 rads), and from a panoramic examination about 0.02 mGy
(0.002 rads)
• A single periapical radiograph can cause 0.01 millirads of radiation
• Thus, It is safe to Do a diagnostic radiograph on a pregnant person if
deemed necessary. However avoidance of radiography during the 1st
trimester is advised.
• Risks can be reduced even further by using a shield: Lead apron to
protect the fetus and using modern RVG
25. 1. Analgesics
Drugs to Avoid in 3rd Trimester
• Aspirin causes post partum hemorrhage,
• Naproxen and Ibuprofen complicates
parturition (delivery)
• Opioid group of drugs (codone &
codeine) cause neonatal respiratory
depression after withdrawal from
prolonged therapy.
26. 2. Antibiotics and Antiprotozoal Drugs
Avoid Antibiotics:
Erythromycin (Estolate form) may
cause cholestatic hepatitis
Doxycycline,
Vancomycin,
Tetracycline: inhibits bone growth.
27. 3. Local Anesthesia and sedatives
Avoid:
Prolonged exposure to Benzodiazepines
result in oral clefts in neonates.
Administration of Nitrous oxide leads to
spontaneous abortion in the 1st
trimester. Nitrous oxide can be used
upto 50% oxygen in 2nd and 3rd
Trimesters.
Mepivacaine and Bupivacaine may
cause fetal Bradycardia
28. 4. Antifungal drugs
5. Corticosteroids
6. Fluoride Supplements
The use of Topical fluorides and
fluoride tablets are considered safe
from the 2nd Trimester
29. 7. Anti Ulcer Drugs (Peptic & Duodenal Ulcer
Prophylaxis)
35. Dental treatment can be done at any time
during pregnancy
preventive, emergency, and routine dental procedures are all suitable
during various phases of a pregnancy, with some treatment modifications
and initial planning
36. A Proposed Treatment Plan• 1st Trimester
• Educate the patient about maternal oral changes during pregnancy.
• Emphasize strict oral hygiene instructions and thereby plaque control.
• Limit dental treatment to periodontal prophylaxis and emergency
treatments only
• 2nd Trimester
• Oral hygiene instruction, and plaque control.
• Scaling, polishing, and curettage may be performed if necessary.
• Control of active oral diseases, if any.
• Elective dental care is safe.
• 3rd Trimester
• Oral hygiene instruction, and plaque control.
• Scaling, polishing, and curettage may be performed if necessary.
• Avoid elective dental care during the second half of the third trimester.
37. Pregnancy Related Oral Health Problems
• Pregnancy Gingivitis
• Pregnancy Epulis
• Candidiasis
• Increased Tooth Mobility
• Dental Caries
• Erosion
• Saliva changes
• Dental Problems in relation to Labor
and Delivery
38. Pregnancy Gingivitis
•Most common oral manifestation (50-100% of women)
•Caused by hormonal and vascular changes of pregnancy Occurs
commonly in the 2nd to 8th months
•Tendency to bleed very easily
•Treatment: Scaling, root planning, curettage, OHI
39. Pregnancy Gingivitis Pathophysiology
• Elevated circulating estrogen increases capillary permeability.
• Preexisting gingivitis may predispose to pregnancy gingivitis.
40. Pregnancy Granuloma
•Occurs in up to 5% of women.
•Most common in buccal maxillary anterior areas.
•Usually starts in an area of gingivitis.
•Rapid growth up to 2 cm.
•Single tumor-like growth
•usually in interdental papillae
•Purplish to bluish in color, may be ulcerated- bleeds easily
41. Treatment:
• Scaling and root planning
• Excision if it is too large or bleeds too easily
• May regress spontaneously after pregnancy
44. Saliva changes
• Decreased buffers
• Decreased minerals
• Decreasing flow first and last trimester
• Increased flow second trimester
• More acidic
a tooth for every pregnancy”
, or that
calcium is withdrawn from the maternal dentition to
supply fetal requirements (i.e., “soft teeth”).
45. Tooth mobility, localized or generalized, is an
uncommon finding during pregnancy
Daily removal of local irritants,
adequate levels of vitamin C,
and delivery of the newborn
should result in reversal of tooth mobility
46. Increased Bacteria
• Increased acidity
– Increase in decay-causing bacteria
• Increased Snacking
– Morning sickness/low blood sugar
– Between-meal snacks
• Increase in amount and frequency of starches/carbohydrates
– Crackers are commonly recommended
– Promotes decay-causing bacteria
47. Treatment for Acid Exposure
• Do NOT brush immediately after vomiting
• Rinse
– Water with baking soda
– Antacid
– Plain water
• Eat some cheese
48. Use of Nitrous Oxide Gas
• used over 150 years
• safety is being debated
• SHORT TERM exposure do not cause birth defects or spontaneous
abortion (30min, 50% O2)
• CHRONIC exposure may result in fetal loss and infertility
• literature suggests that nitrous oxide should be avoided until more
conclusive research is available
• FDA Drug class: not yet assigned
49. Common Preventives
• Fluoride
– No increased risk during pregnancy
• Xylitol
– No studies; no harm reported
• Chlorhexidine
– No increased risk during pregnancy
50. Are topical agents safe?
• Fluoride
• Toothpaste & mouth rinse
• Xylitol chewing gum
• Chlorhexidine (11% alcohol)
• No over the counter mouth rinses
with alcohol (Listerine 20% alcohol)
51. Pre-natal Fluoride
• Daily 2.2 mg tablet of sodium fluoride during 3rd through 9th months
• decreases caries rate in offspring.
• Safe and effective.
52. Is it safe to use mercury restorations?
• No evidence of harmful effect
• Benefits outweigh risks
• Canada, Germany, and New Zealand have some restrictions
• Determine the best option
53.
54. Breast feeding
A significant fact is that the amount of drug excreted in the breast milk
usually is not more than about 1% to 2% of the maternal dose.
Therefore, most drugs are of little pharmacologic significance for the
infant.
take the drug just after breast feeding and avoid nursing for 4 hours or
longer if possible
Should be avoided: lithium, anticancer drugs, radioactive pharmaceuticals, and phenindione
