Main Article Content
Objective: to describe the clinical periodontal
status and the subgingival microbiota
composition in a group of 81 women having
preeclampsia.
Methods: clinical, medical and periodontal data
were determined in women with preeclampsia
at the University Hospital of Valle in Cali-Colombia.
Periodontal status and diagnosis were
determined by means of probing depth and
clinical attachment level (Diagnosis Consensus AAP-1999). A sample of subgingival plaque
was taken for microbiological analysis.
Results: 63% of the cases had mild preeclampsia
and 27.2% had severe preeclampsia. The
periodontal status was affected in 91.4% of patients
(n=64); 59.3% (n=48) of them presented
chronic periodontitis and only 8.6% presented
healthy periodontium. Periodontopathic bacteria
was found in preeclamptic women, the most
prevalent microorganisms were Fusobacterium
ssp 80.2% (n=65), P. gingivalis 59.3% (n=48)
and Prevotella intermedia/nigrescens 51.9%
(n=42).
Conclusion: preeclamptic women showed a
high percentage of chronic periodontitis and
presented also periodontopathic microbiota. A
low percentage of pregnant women presented
healthy periodontium.
