SURGICAL OR MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF PERIODONTAL COMPLICATIONS OCCURRING DURING PREGNANCY

Abstract

The study presents an assessment of surgical and drug management of periodontal complications during pregnancy, with a focus on the impact of these interventions on pregnant women’s oral health and fetal development. Management dedicated to periodontal complications during pregnancy can help improve the oral health of pregnant women and reduce the risk of associated obstetric complications. These findings support the need to integrate periodontal treatment into prenatal care to improve both maternal and fetal health. Women with pre-existing periodontal disease may experience a worsening of their condition during pregnancy, with potential repercussions on overall health. Understanding the hormonal effects and risks associated with periodontal complications during pregnancy is essential to implement appropriate management strategies and ensure proper oral care during this delicate period. Preventive management and prompt treatment can significantly contribute to maintaining periodontal health and reducing risks to the mother and fetus. Vitamin complexes, especially vitamin C, are essential for the functioning of the immune system and contribute to the synthesis of collagen, a protein important for tissue health, including gums. Adequate levels of vitamin C can help heal gum tissues and reduce inflammation.
