PerioFrogz: Research Summaries and Implementation Strategies

The objective of PerioFrogz is to help dental professionals stay current with on-going research; facilitate integration of research findings into daily practice, ultimately elevating the level of patient care.

Boggess³[M3] reviewed the issue of maternal oral health in pregnancy, discussing the epidemiology and pathophysiology of various maternal oral health issues, and outlining the relationships between oral and general health and maternal and infant oral health.

The author recommends education of women regarding oral health and appropriate treatment during pregnancy, utilizing this time period as an opportunity for identifying, preventing, and/or treating the patient, with a view to enhancing long term patient and infant outcomes.
