The demographic characteristics of the successfully treated and the unsuccessfully treated groups were shown in Table 1. There was no significant difference in mean age or ethnicity of the subjects who experienced successful versus unsuccessful therapy (23.7 versus 23.5 years, and 87.6 versus 86.4%, white versus African-American, respectively). Interestingly, 97.7% of women who had unsuccessful periodontal treatment had not seen a dentist for tooth cleaning, versus 82% in the successfully treated group. There were no serious adverse events in the periodontal treatment group.
Group outcomes were as follows: successful periodontal treatment with full-term birth (45 cases); successful treatment with preterm birth (four cases); unsuccessful periodontal treatment with full-term birth (42 cases); unsuccessful periodontal treatment with preterm birth (69 cases).
A logistic regression analysis was used to calculate an odds ratio adjusted for ethnicity, maternal age, smoking, and alcohol consumption. The logistic regression showed a strong and significant relationship between successful periodontal treatment and full-term birth (adjusted OR 6.01, 95% CI 2.57–14.03), as did the chi-square statistic (48.672, P < 0.00001). Pregnant women who were refractory to SRP were significantly more likely to deliver preterm infants.
