Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the tooth supporting tissues and caused by gram negative anaerobic microorganisms. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific disease characterized by hypertension and proteinuria which affects 5-10% of pregnancies causing maternal & perinatal morbidity which can lead to mortality. This is due to infection and inflammatory responses. This article probes the relationship of preeclampsia with periodontitis and the various risk factors and mediators. Special lights arethrown into the pathogenic mechanism involved in preeclampsia highlighting the genetic and immunologicalaspects. The various protective and safer treatment modalities for preeclamptic women have also been discussed. Hence the article brings to light possible links between preeclampsia and periodontitis and evidences of the various treatment modalities being used till date
