| Research Abstract |
Since 1996, there have been many studies about the association between maternal periodontal disease and the preterm low birth-weight infants in foreign countries. However, there is no consensus about the association between maternal periodontal disease and the preterm low birth-weight infants. On the other hand, there are few studies about the association between maternal periodontal disease and the preterm low birth-weight infants in Japan. It is also unknown the prevalence of periodontal disease in Japanese pregnant women.
The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to investigate whether maternal periodontal disease is risk factors of the preterm low birth-weight infants in Japanese women.
The present study suggested that maternal periodontal disease may be related to preterm low birth-weight infants in Japanese women.
