“…3 The strongest associations established in the literature 14 are between the presence of periodontal disease and premature delivery, 15,16 low birth weight 17,18 and pre-eclampsia. 19,20 Despite the possibility of periodontal disease as a risk factor for the occurrence of negative obstetric outcomes, it is necessary to carefully interpret these findings in terms of causality, as there is no conclusive evidence on the relation between them. 14 Even though the effectiveness exerted by periodontal treatment in the reduction of pregnancy complications is notorious, the ideal is for the woman to be approached in the preconception period, since in most cases the intervention during the gestational period seems to occur late in the face of the installed picture of periodontal disease at an advanced stage, which is why reproductive planning can act as an ally in the prevention of oral problems during pregnancy.…”

Objectives: to relate the search for dental care during pregnancy to sociodemographic, gestational and dental characteristics. Methods: quantitative approach study with cross-sectional design carried out with high-risk pregnant women, from January to May 2018. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-square association test and Fisher's exact test, followed by logistic regression analysis and odds ratio calculation. Results: the final sample was composed of 190 pregnant women and the guidance for seeking dental care was significantly related to issues related to Prenatal Dental Care, regarding safety (p = 0.025), effective search (p < 0.0001) and the Unit Basic Health Care as a place of assistance (p = 0.0018). Pregnant women who did not receive search guidance are 19.6 more likely to not seek this service (p <0.001), when they seek it without guidance, they have 6.3 more chances to seek private services (p = 0.014) and when they do not receive guidance, they are 4.5 more likely to not feel secure in relation to this assistance (p = 0.005). Conclusion: the guidance and encouragement provided by the health team is paramount in pregnant woman's decision to seek assistance, especially in the context of Primary Health Care, and is characterized as a strategic tool in reducing insecurities related to dental treatment during pregnancy.

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Although the causes of PE are still unclear, there are factors that play an important role in increasing the incidence of PE, namely periodontitis which has an impact on the systemic spread of pathogens and inflammatory mediators, causing adverse pregnancy outcomes. This scoping review aims to evaluate, identify and provide a deeper understanding of the relationship and possible mechanisms between periodontitis and increased PE in pregnant women. A literature search following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar until July 2023. In the end, 14 articles were included for review. Results: All of the included studies stated that periodontitis mostly affects pregnant women with PE, and periodontitis is believed to play a role in increasing the risk of PE through the mechanism of bacteremia due to periodontal pathogens translocating from the oral cavity to the placenta and through cytokines and inflammatory mediators produced by inflamed periodontal tissue, resulting in disruption of the placenta, further increasing the risk of PE in pregnant women. Conclusions: In conclusion, there is a significant increase in the incidence of PE in pregnant women who experience periodontitis. Future research to review the mechanisms by which periodontitis increases the risk of PE and to examine whether periodontitis treatment before and during pregnancy can prevent PE may be warranted.
