There have been speculations about the effects of hormonal changes and socio-demographic factors on periodontal health during pregnancy.
According to the lack of sufficient epidemiologic information about the periodontal status of pregnant women in Yazd, this study was accomplished to determine the changes of Community Periodontal Index for Treatment Needs (CPITN) during pregnancy and evaluating the possible relationship between this index and demographic characteristics of the mothers.
This was a longitudinal descriptive study. The samples included 115 pregnant women who were referred to health centers of Yazd, Iran. The mothers' data were obtained from a questionnaire consisted of 3 parts: consent paper, demographic data and CPITN records. Examination was performed with dental unit light, flat dental mirror and WHO's scaled probe.
In the beginning of the study, 60.1% of checked sextants had healthy gingival status. 25.9% had code1 and 14% had code 2. Code 3 and 4 were not seen in any sextants. There was a significant relationship between lower CPITN and higher maternal education, occupation and more frequencies of tooth-brushing but there was not a relationship between CPITN and mother's age and number of pregnancies. CPITN had a significant relationship with increasing of the gestational age.
There might be a relationship between increasing the month of pregnancy and more periodontal treatment needs. CPITN Increasing during pregnancy shows the importance of periodontal cares during this period.
关于孕期激素变化和社会人口学因素对牙周健康的影响一直存在推测。
鉴于亚兹德地区缺乏关于孕妇牙周状况的充分流行病学信息，本研究旨在确定孕期治疗需要社区牙周指数（CPITN）的变化，并评估该指数与母亲人口统计学特征之间的可能关系。
这是一项纵向描述性研究。样本包括115名转诊至伊朗亚兹德健康中心的孕妇。母亲的数据通过一份由三部分组成的问卷获得：同意书、人口统计学数据和CPITN记录。使用牙科综合治疗台灯光、平面牙科镜和世界卫生组织的刻度探针进行检查。
研究开始时，60.1%的受检牙 sextant 牙龈健康。25.9%为1级，14%为2级。未发现任何牙 sextant 有3级和4级。较低的CPITN与较高的母亲教育程度、职业和更多的刷牙频率之间存在显著关系，但CPITN与母亲年龄和怀孕次数之间没有关系。CPITN与孕周增加有显著关系。
怀孕月份增加与更多的牙周治疗需求之间可能存在关系。孕期CPITN升高表明在此期间牙周护理的重要性。
