The objective was to verify the relation between periodontal status and prematurity/low birth weight.
a case control study of 211 women, 44 being mothers of children born with weight below 2.500g or gestational age of less than 37 weeks (case group) and 177 mothers of children born with weight of over 2.500g or more and gestational age of 37 weeks or more (control group). The women were invited to reply to a questionnaire during the interview. A single dentist performed a complete periodontal exam in the oral cavity of each participant, including: probing depth, recession, plaque index, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment loss measurements. Descriptive analysis of the study variables was performed and the statistical significance was calculated at 5%, using the chi-squared test.
There was no statistically significant difference in the clinical parameters between the groups.
The findings showed no association between periodontal status and prematurity/low birth weight.
本研究旨在验证牙周状况与早产/低出生体重之间的关系。
一项病例对照研究,共纳入211名女性,其中44名是体重低于2500g或孕周小于37周的儿童的母亲(病例组),177名是体重超过2500g且孕周为37周或以上的儿童的母亲(对照组)。研究人员邀请这些女性在访谈过程中回答一份问卷。由一名牙医对每位参与者的口腔进行全面的牙周检查,包括:探诊深度、牙龈退缩、菌斑指数、探诊出血以及临床附着丧失测量。对研究变量进行描述性分析,并使用卡方检验在5%的水平计算统计学显著性。
两组之间的临床参数无统计学显著差异。
研究结果表明牙周状况与早产/低出生体重之间无关联。
