Journal Title: Modern Approaches in Dentistry and Oral Health Care - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Pregnant women have one of the highest risks of dental diseases [1]. According to foreign researchers, the prevalence of periodontal pathology, ranging from gingivitis and ending with periodontitis, is 10-60% [2]. In the work of LaineM.A.it is established that pregnant women during the gestational period suffer from gingivitis in 30-100%, parodontitis - in 5-20% [3]. The aim was to study the influence of adherence of pregnant women to the treatment of periodontal diseases on the course of this pathology. 398 pregnant women were included in the study. Groups were formed: pregnant women with periodontal pathology entered the clinical group, in this group two subgroups were distinguished depending on adherence to treatment: with high adherence and low adherence to treatment. Periodontal diseases were structured according to the nomenclature and classification of periodontal diseases, adopted at a meeting of the presidium of the section of periodontics of the Russian Academy of Dentistry in 2001. To objectify the periodontal status in patients, the value of special indices was determined: the index of hygiene of the oral cavity according to Green-Vermillion (OHI-S), the Mullmanna bleeding index, the papillary-marginal-alveolar index (PMA) for assessing the presence, degree and depth of the inflammatory process in the gum. Statistical processing of the results of the work was carried out using the Statistica program (StatSoft, USA).
