There is a relationship between stress and pregnancy gingivitis. This relationship may be double-sided.
The aim of this clinical study was to determine the effect of non-surgical mechanical periodontal treatment on sex steroid and stress markers at pregnancy gingivitis. A total of 84 subjects; 22 pregnant women with gingivitis (group 1) and 25 pregnant women with periodontal healthy (pregnant group), group 2), 22 non-pregnant women with gingivitis (group 3) and 15 non-pregnant women with periodontal healthy (non-pregnant group), group 4) participated in this study. Clinically, plaque index, gingival index, and probing pocket depth were measured at baseline and after therapy.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pregnancy Group | Active Comparator | GCF and saliva samples were taken from pregnant gingivitis patients before treatment and after 8 weeks. GCF and saliva samples were taken from pregnant periodontal healty individuals baseline and after 8 weeks. Intervention: Non-surgical periodontal treatment was performed for pregnant gingivitis patients. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva samples were taken. |
|
| Non-Pregnancy Group | Active Comparator | GCF and saliva samples were taken from non-pregnant gingivitis patients before treatment and after 8 weeks. GCF and saliva samples were taken from periodontal healty individuals baseline and after 8 weeks. Intervention: Non-surgical periodontal treatment was performed for non-pregnant gingivitis patients. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva samples were taken. |

| Non-surgical periodontal treatment | Other | Non-surgical periodontal treatment was performed for pregnant and non-pregnant gingivitis patients. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva samples were taken from all patients baseline and after 8 weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) | The changes in DHEA levels within 8 weeks. Higher values represent a worse outcome. The decrease in DHEA levels is expected after periodontal treatment. | Baseline and after 8 weeks |
| estrogen | The changes in estrogen levels within 8 weeks. Higher values represent a worse outcome. The decrease in estrogen levels is expected after periodontal treatment. | Baseline and after 8 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Gingival index | The changes in gingival index level after periodontal treatment. Gingival index was measured for determining the severity of disease and clinical outcome. Higher values represent a worse outcome. After periodontal treatment, a reduction in gingival index value is expected. | Baseline and after 8 weeks |
