Research Abstract |
Recent etpidemiological study showed that periodontal disease is a risk factor of preterm birth and low birth weight. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory process and it is thought that the origin is infection by oral bacteria. These results indicate that gingipains inhibitors may be not the medication for periodontal disease, but also the preventive medicine for preterm birth and low birth weight by periodontal disease.
