| Sumario: | Periodontitis is a complex infectious disease associatedwith a dysbiotic subgingival biofilm. In pregnant women,it may represent a factor that negatively impacts maternal-fetal health. The objective of this research was todetermine the prevalence of periodontal pathogens inpregnant patients with periodontitis. A cross-sectionaldescriptive study with convenience sampling was conducted,involving 50 pregnant women from the Gynecologyand Obstetrics Service at Ángela Llano Hospitalwho met the inclusion criteria and provided informedconsent. Periodontitis was classified based on Papapanouet al.'s criteria. Biofilm samples were collected fromthe two sites with the greatest probing depth. The prevalenceof periodontal pathogens was determined usingmultiplex PCR.Fifty-six percent of the pregnant participants werediagnosed with periodontal disease. The prevalence ofPrevotella intermedia and Fusobacterium nucleatumwas 100%, as was Tannerella forsythia and Treponemadenticola in patients with Grade III and Grade II periodontitis.The prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivaliswas 75% in Grade III periodontitis and 20% in Grade IIperiodontitis. Statistical analysis revealed a significantdifference in the prevalence of microorganisms based onthe grade of periodontitis.In conclusion, a significant proportion of pregnant womenpresented with periodontal disease. The high prevalenceof microorganisms from Socransky's orangecomplex facilitates the aggregation of the red complex,potentially leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes.Expanding research in this area is essential to improveprevention and treatment strategies for this population. |
