Impact Of Gum Disease Therapy On Pregnancy
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that treatment for periodontal disease in pregnant women does not result in a lower rate of adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and low birth weight. At the same time, the study showed that periodontal treatment during pregnancy is safe. The researchers recommend additional studies to assess the potential benefits of the treatment.
Periodontal disease occurs when infection of the gums goes untreated and inflammation spreads to the tissues that support the teeth, ultimately leading to tooth loss.
This multi-center trial studied two groups of pregnant women with gum disease, one that received therapy during pregnancy, and a control group that was not treated until after delivery. Columbia University researchers from the College of Dental Medicine and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Harlem Hospital together with colleagues at three other institutions hypothesized that periodontal treatment would result in a reduced number of preterm births in women who were treated for gum disease. However, the results did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in outcomes in the treated group.
"Although our findings do not corroborate our original hypothesis, they clearly show that treating periodontal disease does not have a negative impact on pregnancy outcomes. There are a number of additional variables that we must continue to examine in order to definitively answer the question of whether treating periodontal disease can improve pregnancy outcomes," said Panos N. Papapanou, DDS, Ph.D., Professor and Director of the Division of periodontics in the College of Dental Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, and an investigator on the trial.
According to Dr. Papapanou, additional studies will need to be carried out in order to make more specific treatment recommendations for pregnant women with periodontitis. These studies will need to consider the timing of the intervention and the intensity of the intervention, as well as a broader scope of adverse outcomes, including late miscarriage, early still birth, and spontaneous preterm birth. 本人已认领该文编译，48小时后若未提交译文，请其他战友自由认领。 牙周病的治疗对妊娠的影响

一篇刊登在《新英格兰医学杂志》的研究表明, 在孕期治疗牙周病不会对孕妇产生不良影响，譬如导致婴儿早产和低体重儿诞生。研究同时表明，在怀孕期间接受牙周病治疗是安全的。

牙周病是牙龈感染时没有得到及时的治疗，细菌侵蚀到内部组织时，最后导致牙齿脱落。
[编者加]牙周病就是牙齿周围组织的疾病。牙齿周围组织就是附着在牙根上的结缔组织、骨骼，以及其外层的牙龈。当这些组织受到侵害时，视伤害的程度决定牙齿的存亡！ 简单的说，牙周病就是使牙齿的地基流失的一种病！造成牙周病的主要原因，跟蛀牙一样，都是由于口腔卫生不当，产生黏附在牙齿上面的牙菌斑，导致对牙周组织不断的破坏。
基本上牙周病是一种慢性细菌感染。早期并无明显自觉症状，因此常被忽略，等到有自觉症状时，它常常已进行至某种程度了。

这次多中心试验研究的牙周炎孕妇患者有两组，一组在怀孕期间接受治疗，而另一组只在分娩后才接受牙周炎的治疗。来自牙医学院的哥伦比亚大学研究者与Harlem 医院妇产科及其他研究机构的同事共同假设在怀孕期间接受牙周炎治疗会减少早产的发生率。然而，试验结果统计显示在治疗组没有显著的改善。
