Increased Detection Rate of #Prevotella Intermedia among #Pregnant #Periodontitis Patients in Romania by Olivia Simona Dorneanu in BJSTR





Abstract

Associated to pregnancy hormonal variations in plasma are favorable conditions to developing or exacerbating #preexistent #periodontitis. Pregnancy associated periodontal inflammation is correlated with or correlates with increasing abundance of #PrevotellaIntermedia in the periodontal pocket. In the present study we quantified by qPCR the subgingival counts of total bacteria, P. Intermedia and #Porphyromonas #gingivalis in pregnant women, non-pregnant and male comparatively to assess the distribution patterns of P. Intermedia in periodontitis patients according to the pregnancy status of the host. P. intermedia is detected more frequently and in greater abundance in pregnant periodontitis patients.
