Abstract

Many studies have reported the evidence supporting the link between diabetes and periodontal diseases. It was established that diabetes mellitus is associated with significant vascular abnormalities, metabolic and immune disorders which result in abnormal pregnancy and substantial deterioration of dental and periodontal health. To date, the association between oral microflora and the causes of periodontal diseases in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus has not been well established. The development of new approaches to the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus is one of the priorities of modern dentistry.

Keywords
