Ralationship of apgar score with mothers periodontal disease

Abstract

several studies has shown the relationship between periodontal disease and preterm deliver with low birth weight infants. Study of periodontal disease of the mother that affects newborns vital indicators, hasn't been done. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between periodontal disease of mothers with the Apgar score of newborn babies using the test number at the time of delivery. Method & Material: A case control study carried out with Total of 200 pregnant patients,100 pregnant women with periodontal disease that in the case group and 100 mothers without periodontal disease were the control group. Two groups of periodontal indices (PD, CAL, BOP), and the number of Apgar scores at the time of birth were updated, and all data was recorded and analyzed using the SPSS computer software with application of T-test and Pearson correlation to determine the correlation and Odds Ratio for birth weight, Apgar score, and the periodontal disorders parameters. Results: Mean age, mean periodontal pocket depth, the average adhesion of the protrusion, the average percentage of bleeding areas Subjected to probe, the average Apgar score number in 5 minutes and the mean birth weight of infant's in patient groups was statistically significant, except the age variable in the two case and control groups. Risk of low Apgar score less than 7 with periodontal disease] ( P=0.024 proportion of the risk (95%; 14 / 3OR =) with confidence coefficient (11/9-08/1) CI On the other hand the risk of LBW in Mothers with periodontal disease compared to the risk of LBW in mothers without periodontal disease] ( P =0.013 proportion of the risk (95%; 74 / 2OR =) with confidence coefficient (35/6-18/1) CI [obtained respectively. Pearson correlation between the weight of newborns with PD, CAL, BOP and mother with Apgar score correlations between the number PD, CAL, BOP also coefficient number Apgar score birth weight baby all significant updates, respectively. Conclusion: The present research showed that periodontal disease are not only correlated with the infant birth weight but also the periodontal indicators of mothers (PD, CAL, BOP) are related with the Apgar score of infant at the time of delivery
