Journal ArticleDOI
Periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review
TL;DR: This work has shown that periodontal disease, as a source of subclinical and persistent infection, may induce systemic inflammatory responses that increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gestational diabetes mellitus: prevalence, risk factors, maternal and infant outcomes
TL;DR: Specific conditions predispose to GDM which itself is associated with a significantly increased risk of maternal and fetal morbidity, and infants born to mothers with GDM were at higher risk of being macrosomic or large‐for‐gestational‐age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
