Estado de salud periodontal de mujeres embarazadas. Estudio de prevalencia. Clínica UCSG semestre B-2023.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease occurs due to a series of pathological processes. It is associated with clinical signs such as bacterial plaque biofilm, gingival inflammation, presence of bleeding, among other clinical signs. Objective: Compare the periodontal status in women according to the gestational stage in which they are. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. We worked with a sample of 31 pregnant women who attended the dentistry clinic of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the UCSG. Periodontal Screening and Recording was performed. The level of education, socioeconomic level, area of residence and week of gestation in which they were found were consulted and recorded to seek a relationship between them and the score obtained in the PSR. Results: Data was obtained from a total of 31 pregnant women. 83.9% of them reside in an urban area and 16.1% of them in a rural area. The educational level predominated higher education with 54.8%. Leaving 38.7% in secondary education and a very low percentage in primary education with 6.5%. We obtained that the typical medium level predominated with a percentage of 61.3%, the high medium level with 29% and the low medium level 9.7%. Conclusion: The gestational stage in which the pregnant woman is will not determine the periodontal status in which they are.
