About this listen

In this episode, we take a closer look at the scientific evidence linking periodontitis to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Drawing insights from a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, we explore how maternal gum inflammation may contribute to complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia. We break down the key research trends, the most influential studies in the field, and why oral health should be considered an essential part of prenatal care. A clear and informative overview for healthcare professionals and anyone interested in the connection between gum disease and pregnancy health.
