Periodontal parameters including PI,PPD, CAL, BOP and GR were assessed 1 to 2 days after delivery. The collected data was analyzed by the SPSS software. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: PI, PPD and CAL were higher in control group and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). GR and BOP were statistically insignificant among case and control groups (P>0.05).
