Abstract:
Purpose: To point out the possible relationship between Periodontitis and Mild and Preeclampsia in pregnant women and to correlate this to association to clinical and recommended periodontal considerations.

Relationship between Periodontitis and Mild and Severe Pre-eclampsia in Pregnant Women
Introduction:
For a long time, maternal health has been identified as a critical determinant in trimming down the potential risks and complications related to pregnancy such as preeclampsia and preterm births. Low birth weights (LBW) along with preterm delivery are regarded as the most appropriate natural determinants of infant survival in all developed as well as developing …show more content…
A hundred of these women were diagnosed with preeclampsia and proteenuria with a 140/90 blood pressure rates. The remaining a hundred women had regular blood pressure. A dentist performed an oral assessment on the women to detect any periodontal disease. Periodontitis and gingivitis were then diagnosed and classified according to the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), after which the preeclamptic women were subdivided into mild and moderate in order to make comparisons (Jahromt et al., …show more content…
The reasons mentioned are based on case control studies and meta-analysis from various countries which ultimately solidifies and generalizes the conclusions harmoniously. As a way forward, heath sectors should introduce mandatory dental assessments especially for pregnant women in their initial pregnancy stages. The approach should provoke and affect dentists to find novel approaches for preventive services that will result in working hand in hand with obstetricians in an attempt to curb the escalating prevalent of preterm labor as well as premature morbidity and deaths (Stupak & Kwasniewski, 2013).
Based on the aforementioned evidences that reveal the relationship between Periodontitis and mild and severe preeclampsia and having traced the probable root causes of preeclampsia, it then follow that possible solutions and prevention measures are recommendable. Since periodontal viruses are the root causes of preeclampsia and consequent preterm births, it then follows that in eradicating such viruses would minimize preterm birth risks. Several meta-analysis studies reveal significant decline in preterm births are treating periodontal
