Periodontal disease: Repercussions in pregnant woman and newborn health-A cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the repercussion of periodontal disease (PD) in the pregnant woman health and the complications during pregnancy and delivery, as well as negative outcomes for the newborn (as infections, prematurity, low birth weight and fetal growth restriction).

Method

Retrospective cohort study, based on medical records of 142 pregnant women assisted at a prenatal service of usual risk between 2012-2014, with a dental evaluation for PD. Maternal variables, along with labor and newborn variables, were analyzed. The newborns were stratified into two groups: offspring of mothers with PD (subdivided into Severe Periodontal Disease-SPD) and offspring of mothers without PD. Each outcome was adjusted by a multiple logistic regression model, with significance for p-value <0.05, considering all potential confounding factors.

Results

Among women diagnosed with SPD, the odds ratio for vulvovaginitis was 3.45 times greater (OR = 3.45, p-value = 0.050) and 5.59 times higher for premature rupture of membranes (OR = 5.59; p-value = 0.017). For neonates, the chance of fetal growth restriction was 11.53 times higher for pregnant women with SPD (OR = 11.53, p = 0.041).

Conclusion

The periodontal disease increased the chance of neonatal and maternal negative outcomes, being the fetal growth restriction, vulvovaginitis and premature rupture of the membrane (PROM) the main results driven by the presence of Severe Periodontal Disease.

Project description:Preterm-low birth weight delivery is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality in sub Saharan Africa and has been linked to poor periodontal health during pregnancy. This study investigated predisposing and enabling factors as Determinants of oral health indicators in pregnancy as well as the association between periodontal problems at 7 months gestational age and the infants' anthropometric status.A community -based prospective cohort study was conducted in Mbale, Eastern Uganda between 2006 and 2008. Upon recruitment, 713 pregnant women completed interviews and a full mouth oral clinical examination using the CPITN (Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Need) and OHI-S (Simplified Oral Hygiene) indices. A total of 593 women were followed up with anthropometric assessments of their infants 3 weeks after delivery. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent determinants of periodontal problems and use of dental services during pregnancy. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to investigate the relationship between periodontal problems and the child's anthropometric status in terms of wasting, underweight and stunting.A total of 67.0% women presented with periodontal problems, 12.1% with poor oral hygiene, 29.8% with recent dental visit and 65.0% with periodontal symptoms. Of the infants, 2.0% were wasted, 6.9% were underweight and 10.0% were stunted. The odds ratio of having CPI?>?0 increased with increased maternal age and single marital status, and was lower in primiparous women and those who used mosquito bed nets. Mean wasting scores discriminated between mothers with CPI?=?0 and CPI?>?0 as well as between mothers with good and poor OHI-S scores.Socio-demographic factors and information about oral health were associated with oral health indicators in pregnant women. Second, the height- for- age status at 3 weeks postpartum was worse in infants of mothers having periodontal problems and poor oral hygiene during pregnancy. Efforts to prevent oral diseases during pregnancy should be part of the local state and national health policy agenda in Uganda.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough emerging evidence suggests that periodontitis might increase the risk of cancer, comorbidity and lifestyle behaviors, such as smoking and body mass index (BMI), may have confounded this reported association. This study aimed to investigate whether chronic periodontitis is associated with cancer risk using a large, nationwide database.MethodsWe conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Cohort Database obtained between January 2003 and December 2015. We included 713,201 individuals without a history of cancer who were followed up to 10 years. Confounding factors included demographic factors (age, sex, income, and residential area), lifestyle behaviors (smoking history and BMI), and comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and pulmonary disease, using the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was applied to estimate the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for cancer risk.ResultsOf the 713,201 participants, 53,075 had periodontitis and were placed in the periodontitis group; the remaining 660,126 individuals were included as the control group. Overall, the cumulative incidence of cancer in the periodontitis group was 2.2 times higher than that in the control group. The periodontitis group had an increased risk of total cancer compared to the control group after adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, BMI, and smoking history (aHR, 1.129; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.089-1.171; P<0.0001). When examining specific cancer types, significant associations were also observed between periodontitis and stomach cancer (aHR, 1.136; 95% CI, 1.042-1.239; P=0.0037), colon cancer (aHR, 1.129; 95% CI, 1.029-1.239; P=0.0105), lung cancer (aHR, 1.127; 95% CI, 1.008-1.260; P=0.0353), bladder cancer (aHR, 1.307; 95% CI, 1.071-1.595; P=0.0085), thyroid cancer (aHR, 1.191; 95% CI, 1.085-1.308; P=0.0002), and leukemia (aHR, 1.394; 95% CI, 1.039-1.872; P=0.0270). There was no significant association between the development of secondary malignancy and periodontitis in cancer survivors who were alive 5 years after they were diagnosed with the primary malignancy.ConclusionsPeriodontal disease, including periodontitis, was associated with increased risk of cancer, which persisted after controlling for confounding factors. Further prospective research is warranted to establish a causal relationship.

Project description:The use of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques has generated a wide variety of blood microbiome data. Due to the large variation in bacterial DNA profiles between studies and the likely high concentrations of cell-free bacterial DNA in the blood, it is still not clear how such microbiome data relates to viable microbiota. For these reasons much remains to be understood about the true nature of any possible healthy blood microbiota and of bacteraemic events associated with disease. The gut, reproductive tracts, skin, and oral cavity are all likely sources of blood-borne bacteria. Oral bacteria, especially those associated with periodontal diseases, are also commonly associated with cardiovascular diseases such as infective endocarditis, and also have been linked to rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. Periodontal treatment, dental probing, and toothbrushing have been shown to cause transient bacteraemia and oral bacteria from the phyla Firmicutes (e.g. Streptococci) and Bacteroidetes (e.g. Porphyromonas) are found in cardiovascular lesions (CVD). Many studies of blood bacterial DNA content however, find Proteobacteria DNA to be the dominant microbiome component, suggesting a gut origin. Most studies of this type use total DNA extracted from either whole blood or blood fractions, such as buffy coat. Here, using a method that purifies DNA from intact bacterial cells only, we examined blood donated by those with active, severe periodontitis and periodontally healthy controls and show that 43-52% of bacterial species in blood are classified as oral. Firmicutes, consisting largely of members of the Streptococcus mitis group and Staphylococcus epidermidis, were predominant at 63.5% of all bacterial sequences detected in periodontal health and, little changed at 66.7% in periodontitis. Compared to studies using total DNA Proteobacteria were found here at relatively low levels in blood at 13.3% in periodontitis and 17.6% in health. This study reveals significant phylogenetic differences in blood bacterial population profiles when comparing periodontal health to periodontal disease cohorts.
