Their ages ranged from 18-35 years, their height was above 150 cm and they have no history of any systemic disease. At the end of each trimester these measurements were performed: attachment level, probing depth, gingival index, plaque index, and bleeding on probing. According to the periodontal diagnosis the research population was divided into three groups: periodontally healthy women; periodontally diseased women, however rejection of treatment; periodontally diseased women, however acceptance of treatment.In this study one-way ANOVA, chi-square, conditional logistic regression analyses were used.

269 participants in 3 patient groups, including a placebo group

Periodontally healthy

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

Some periodontal measurements (attachment level, probing depth, gingival index, plaque index, and bleeding on probing) were performed in periodontally healthy pregnant. These measurements were performed at the end of each trimester. Parameters such as number of pregnancies, previous low birth weight, prenatal care, genital tract infection, use of antibiotics, smoking, tooth brushing habit and birth weight were evaluated. Intervation: Collection of periodontal records and pregnancy parameters.

Treatment:

Other: pregnancy parameters

Other: collection of periodontal records

Periodontally diseased, untreated

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

This group is comprised of individuals who do not accept treatment Some periodontal measurements (attachment level, probing depth, gingival index, plaque index, and bleeding on probing) were performed in periodontally healthy pregnant.

Other: pregnancy parameters

Periodontally diseased, treated

Active Comparator group

Description:

This group is comprised of individuals who agree to treatment. Some periodontal measurements (attachment level, probing depth, gingival index, plaque index, and bleeding on probing) were performed in periodontally healthy pregnant. These measurements were performed at the end of each trimester. Parameters such as number of pregnancies, previous low birth weight, prenatal care, genital tract infection, use of antibiotics, smoking, tooth brushing habit were evaluated. Initial Periodontal Therapy is completed (calculus elimination, root planning, polishing etc.) This treatment is considered to be the safest time for pregnant mothers was performed in 2 trimester.
