The relationship of microcirculatory changes in general blood flow and periodontal disease in pregnant women

Objective: to determine the relationship of microcirculatory changes in general blood flow and periodontal disease in pregnant women. Material and methods. 98 pregnant women participated in the examination, who underwent an analysis of microcirculatory changes in the IV finger of the left hand and periodontal. The control group consisted of 30 non-pregnant women. Laser Doppler flowmetric examination was carried out in two stages. At the 1st stage, the vasomotor activity of blood vessels was studied, at the 2nd stage — the contribution of high- and low-frequency oscillations to the overall modulation of blood flow. A correlation analysis of microcirculatory changes in general blood flow and periodontal disease was performed.
