Recent reviews have suggested a possible association between periodontal disease and increasing risks during pregnancy, such as newborn low weight, premature birth, gestational diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia. Besides, being saliva a valuable source of information on general and buccal health, it is necessary to know its parameters associated with periodontal diseases; in order to help odontologists to better understand this disease, and provide a sound clinical treatment. Therefore, this research sought to assess the correlation between periodontal index, and salivary pH on first trimester pregnant women.
71 pregnant women were evaluated by observational, transversal and correlational study, using the community periodontal index and salivary pH-meter. The Spearman coefficient was employed, considering a p value of 0.05.
A correlation was found between periodontal index and salivary pH in first trimester pregnant women (=0.039). According to age, correlations were found to be very weak in age group 18 to 24 years (=0.605), and age group 25 to 35 years (=0.071). Similarly, no strong correlation was found when pairing based on number of pregnancies (primiparous =0.239 and multi pregnancy =0.114). Also, 36.6% of pregnant women showed periodontal pockets smaller than 5 mm.
With lower salivary pH, the periodontal index in pregnant women gets lower; however, no correlation could be found between age group and number of pregnancies. Periodontal index, periodontal pocket, periodontal diseases, saliva, pregnancy, pregnant women.
近期综述表明，牙周疾病与孕期风险增加之间可能存在关联，如新生儿低体重、早产、妊娠期糖尿病和先兆子痫。此外，由于唾液是有关全身和口腔健康的宝贵信息来源，有必要了解与牙周疾病相关的参数，以帮助牙科医生更好地理解这种疾病，并提供合理的临床治疗。因此，本研究旨在评估孕早期妇女的牙周指数与唾液pH值之间的相关性。
采用社区牙周指数和唾液pH计，通过观察性、横断面和相关性研究对71名孕妇进行评估。采用Spearman系数，p值设定为0.05。
发现孕早期妇女的牙周指数与唾液pH值之间存在相关性（=0.039）。按年龄分组，18至24岁年龄组（=0.605）和25至35岁年龄组（=0.071）的相关性非常弱。同样，根据怀孕次数分组时未发现强相关性（初产妇=0.239，多胎妊娠=0.114）。此外，36.6%的孕妇牙周袋小于5mm。
唾液pH值较低时，孕妇的牙周指数也较低；然而，年龄组与怀孕次数之间未发现相关性。牙周指数、牙周袋、牙周疾病、唾液、妊娠、孕妇。
