TLDR
Non-surgical periodontal treatment during the second semester of gestation did not reduce the risk for preterm birth, low birth weight, and preterm low birthWeight in the periodontitis intervention group.Abstract:
Periodontitis has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results from intervention studies are few and controversial. The present study assessed the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment in the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Two hundred forty-six eligible women were randomly divided into two groups: periodontitis intervention (n = 122; undergoing non-surgical treatment during gestation) and periodontitis control (n = 124; not treated during gestation). Univariate analysis was performed and estimates of relative risk were reported. Data from 225 women were analyzed. No differences for preterm birth (p = 0.721), low birth weight (p = 0.198), and preterm low birth weight (p = 0.732) rates were observed. Relative risk estimates for preterm birth, low birth weight, and preterm low birth weight in the periodontitis intervention group were 0.915 (95% CI 0.561–1.493), 0.735 (95% CI 0.459–1.179), and 0.927 (0.601–1.431), respectively. Non-surgical periodontal treatment during the second semester of gestation did not reduce the risk for preterm birth, low birth weight, and preterm low birth weight.read more

Nikolaos P. Polyzos,Ilias P. Polyzos,A. Zavos,Antonis Valachis,Davide Mauri,Evangelos G. Papanikolaou,Spyridon Tzioras,Daniel Weber,Ioannis E. Messinis +8 more
TL;DR: Treatment of periodontal disease with scaling and root planing during pregnancy cannot be considered to be an efficient way of reducing the incidence of preterm birth, and clear evidence that no such effect exists is provided.

TL;DR: A comprehensive Cochrane review of randomised controlled trials investigating the effects of periodontal treatment in preventing or reducing perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality found no clear difference in preterm birth < 37 weeks.

Evidence grade associating periodontitis with preterm birth and/or low birth weight: II. A systematic review of randomized trials evaluating the effects of periodontal treatment
TL;DR: The results of this review show that MPDT did not decrease the risk of PB and/or LBW; however, the influence of specific aspects that were not investigated (disease diagnosis, extension and severity and the success of MPDT) should be evaluated by future RCTs.

TL;DR: Vitamin D insufficiency (serum 25[OH]D <75 nmol/l) is associated with maternal periodontal disease during pregnancy and represents a potential therapeutic strategy to improve maternal oral health.

TL;DR: This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of scaling and root planing in reducing the preterm-birth and low-birth-weight risks indicates statistically significant effect in reducing risk of preterm birth for SRP in pregnant women with periodontitis for groups with high risks of pre term birth only.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that periodontal disease is a statistically significant risk factor for PLBW with adjusted odds ratios of 7.9 and 7.5 for all PLBW cases and primiparous PL BW cases, respectively.

TL;DR: This trial indicates that performing SRP in pregnant women with periodontitis may reduce PTB in this population, and that adjunctive metronidazole therapy did not improve pregnancy outcome.

TL;DR: The results do not support a specific drive to improve periodontal health of pregnant women as a means of improving pregnancy outcomes and there is no evidence for an association between PLBW andperiodontal disease.
