AIM To compare the use of different definitions for exposure measurement in cases of association between periodontal disease (PD) and prematurity and/or low birth weight (PLBW). MATERIAL AND METHODS A database from a previous case-control study was used to compare four different definitions for periodontitis: at least one site with probing depth > or =4 mm (1); at least one site with clinical attachment loss (CAL)> or =3 mm (2); at least four teeth with one or more sites presenting probing…

Impact of different periodontitis case definitions on periodontal research.
TLDR
Prevalence and extent rates greatly varied, from 13.8% to 65.3% and from 9.7% to 55.6%, respectively, in this study.
Very low and low birth weight associated with maternal periodontitis.
TLDR
Maternal periodontitis was associated with a decrease in mean birth weight, as well as with LBW and VLBW.
Periodontal disease and oral health-related behavior as factors associated with preterm birth: a case-control study in south-eastern Brazil.
TLDR
Investigating whether periodontal disease, defined according to two commonly used clinical definitions, is associated with preterm birth and the association regarding oral health-related behaviors during pregnancy found increased appetite and a low number of daily toothbrushings were associated with prior birth.
Association between maternal periodontal disease and preterm delivery and low birth weight.
CRITERIA FOR RADIOGRAPHIC DIAGNOSIS OF PERIODONTITIS IN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES
TLDR
The findings showed that PD frequency may be influenced by different RCs, as well as indicating variation in the strength of the association between osteoporosis and periodontitis.
Maternal periodontal disease and preterm or extreme preterm birth: an ordinal logistic regression analysis.
TLDR
The findings suggest that periodontal disease is associated with a premature or extremely premature birth.
Effect of maternal periodontitis and low birth weight—A case control study
TLDR
The findings of this study showed no association between maternal periodontal disease and low birth weight, even after appropriate adjustments for confounding factors.
Contribution of periodontal disease in pregnant women as a risk factor for low birth weight.
TLDR
An association between periodontal disease and low birth weight among mothers with low education levels is suggested, particularly among Mothers with low schooling levels.
Periodontal therapy and low birth weight: preliminary results from an alternative methodologic strategy.
TLDR
The results suggest that successful periodontal therapy in pregnant women suffering from periodontitis is a protective factor promoting the birth of children with normal weight.
Association between periodontal status and pre-term and/or low-birth weight in Spain: clinical and microbiological parameters.
TLDR
The clinical periodontal condition was not associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in a Spanish Caucasian population with medium-high educational level.

Effects of periodontal treatment phase I on birth term and birth weight.
TLDR
periodontal therapy, phase I, results in a reduction in PLBW incidence rate and the application of such a simple method among periodontally diseased pregnant women is recommended.
Is periodontitis associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease and preterm and/or low birth weight births?
TLDR
The evidence linking periodontitis with an increased risk for CHD and PLBW is limited and there is a clear need for new, well designed observational and intervention studies to confirm the thus far observed associations, explore the validity of the associations in diverse populations, establish whether they are causal in nature and determine potential benefits of periodontal intervention in reducing the risk for these conditions.
Higher Risk of Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight in Women with Periodontal Disease
TLDR
PD was associated with both preterm birth and low birth weight, independent of other risk factors, and risk factors significantly associated with PLBW were previous PLBW, PD, fewer than 6 prenatal visits, and low maternal weight gain.
[Maternal periodontal disease as a factor associated with low birth weight].
TLDR
A positive association between periodontal disease and low birth weight is indicated, especially among the mothers with schooling of less than or equal to four years.
Periodontal therapy may reduce the risk of preterm low birth weight in women with periodontal disease: a randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
periodontal disease appears to be an independent risk factor for preterm low birth weight (PLBW) in this population of women with periodontal Disease.
Periodontal infection as a possible risk factor for preterm low birth weight.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that periodontal disease is a statistically significant risk factor for PLBW with adjusted odds ratios of 7.9 and 7.5 for all PLBW cases and primiparous PL BW cases, respectively.
Cessation of periodontal care during pregnancy: effect on infant birthweight.
TLDR
In conclusion, women receiving periodontal care had genetic and environmental characteristics, such as smoking, diabetes and race, that were associated with an increased risk for low-birthweight infants.
Periodontal disease and preterm birth: results of a pilot intervention study.
TLDR
This trial indicates that performing SRP in pregnant women with periodontitis may reduce PTB in this population, and that adjunctive metronidazole therapy did not improve pregnancy outcome.
Treatment of periodontal disease and the risk of preterm birth.
TLDR
Treatment of periodontitis in pregnant women improves periodontal disease and is safe but does not significantly alter rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, or fetal growth restriction.
Periodontal infection and preterm birth: results of a prospective study.
TLDR
The authors' data show an association between the presence of periodontitis at 21 to 24 weeks' gestation and subsequent preterm birth, and advise expectant mothers about the importance of good oral health.
