Summary

The primary objective of the study is to assess the incidence and severity of the periodontal infection of patients with preterm labor. The secondary objective of the study is to analyze the relationship between preterm labor and periodontal infection, using clinical, biochemical and microbiological methods.

Detailed description

Preterm infants are born prior to completion of 37 weeks of gestation. Periodontal disease is a subclinical and persistent infection source which induces the systemic inflammatory reactions and increases the risk of preterm labor. It is believed that the results will set light to the etiology of preterm labor and will help to develop strategies to prevent the disease.
