Methodology: The population was 60 pregnant patients, the probabilistic sample comprised 55 pregnant women, who prior to signing the informed consent were examined under artificial light and universal protection barriers. The PSR was performed on all 6 with an OMS periodontal probe. Periodontal Health was considered as Code Zero, Code 1 and 2 corresponded to gingivitis and Code 4 Periodontitis. Data were recorded at the 6 points per tooth (Distal, Middle and Mesial by vestibular or platinum/lingual and by sextant. The parametric statistical test ANOVA, chi-square test were applied Results: It was identified that 3.64% of pregnant women between 18 and 38 have periodontal health, 93% gingivitis and 3.46% periodontitis. In the third trimester of pregnancy the highest frequency of periodontal health was evidenced, due to the fact that pregnant women in this health center attend prenatal checkups and received permanent dental care to improve oral health. The plus age of pregnant women presenting periodontal health was between 30-33 years, gingivitis between 18-29 years, periodontitis 34-38 years. There was a relationship between age and periodontal health, gingivitis and periodontitis (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Periodontal health in pregnant women aged 18 to 38 years is less than 10%, with a high presence of gingivitis possibly associated with hormonal changes during pregnancy. |
