- Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory, immune mediated, high-frequency disease associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and many systemic diseases. If the periodontal disease is not detected promptly, or inadequately treated, can lead to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions and the clinical expression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Insufficient insight into the possible pathologic implications of the oral health status in pregnant women for the development of atherosclerosis and premature birth, initiated an international scientific research Project, which is being implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Germany in the period 2017-2019/2020, entitled "The impact of oral health of pregnant women on the cardiovascular health of children". The purpose of the Project is to evaluate the relationship of oral health and cardiovascular health and general health, with reference to the possible occurrence of premature birth and the birth of children of low birth weight. The research will determine whether the maternity periodontal disease is a possible new risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease in children. It also wants to highlight the importance of proper oral hygiene and regular dental examinations of pregnant women in preventing or reducing the incidence of maternity periodontal disease and the impact on pregnancy complications and possible premature cardiovascular risk.
