Background: Although recent studies have focused on the role of human herpes viruses in various types of periodontal disease, there is a lack of information in these reports regarding the role of pregnancy gingivitis. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between pregnancy and subgingival virus presence and their relationship with the clinical parameters. Methods: Seventy pregnant and 40 non-pregnant women were examined for gingival and plaque indices, bleeding on probing (BOP), and clinical pocket depths (CPD) from whole dentition. Subgingival plaque samples were obtained from sites showing signs of gingivitis as well as from healthy sites. The polymerase chain reaction methodology was used to detect Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) from plaque samples. Results: Our results show that the gingivitis lesions of 27 (38.6%) and 10 (14.3%) of the pregnant subjects were positive for EBV and CMV, respectively. In the non-pregnant group, EBV and CMV were detected in 6 (15%) and 8 (20%) of the lesions, respectively. A statistically significant difference (p<0.01) was found between the subgingival occurrence of EBV in the two groups. In gingivitis sites, CPD was affected by gestation (p<0.001) and by the occurrence of EBV (p<0.001). In healthy sites CPD was affected by gestation (p<0.05) and BOP was affected by the occurrence of CMV and EBV (p<0.001). Conclusion: Our data indicates that pregnancy increased the risk of subgingival EBV presence in pregnant women by 3.647 times more than that of non-pregnant women. |
