Brief summary: The aim of the study is to assess the effect of lactoferrin in LBC complex can be effective in reducing periodontal clinical parameters in a 6-month study on pregnant patients.

Detailed description: The aim of the study is to assess the effect of lactoferrin in LBC complex can be effective in reducing periodontal clinical parameters in a 6-month study on pregnant patients. Patients' enrollment will be conducted according to inclusion criteria.

At the first visit, periodontal parameters will be recorded: Plaque Index (PI), recession (R) Bleeding on Probing (BoP), modified Marginal Gingival Index (mMGI), Papillary Marginal Gingival (PMGI), Plaque Control Record ( PCR %), Approximal Plaque Index (API), Clinical Attachment loss (CAL) and Probing Pocket Depth (PPD).

Professional debridement will be conducted with piezoelectric instrumentation and air-flow administration with glycine powders.

Subsequently, patients will be randomly divided into two groups:

- the Trial group, in which patients will perform home oral hygiene with Emoform Glic toothpaste + mouthwash twice a day the Control group, in which patients will perform home oral hygiene with Emoform Glic toothpaste twice a day.

Professional debridement will be repeated every 3 months. Periodontal indexes evaluation will be conducted at the baseline (T0), after 1 month (T1), after 3 months (T2), and after 6 months (T3).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* women at the 4th month of pregnancy
