Conditions: Preeclampsia
Periodontal Disease
Lead sponsor: Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Training and Research Hospital

Enrollment: 100
Sex: FEMALE
Minimum age (years): 21

Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Observational model: CASE_CONTROL
Time perspective: PROSPECTIVE
Sampling method: NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: The study is planned to be a case-control study. Workgroup consists of 50 patients which diagnosed with preeclampsia between the age of 18 and 40. Control group consists of healthy females over 37. weeks of pregnant with no history of preeclampsia.

Brief summary: The primary objective of the study is to assess the incidence and severity of the periodontal infection of patients with preeclampsia.

The secondary objective of the study is to analyze the relationship between preeclampsia and periodontal infection, using clinical, biochemical and microbiological methods.

Detailed description: Preeclampsia is identified as an important cause for mother and newborn mortality. Inspite of extensive research, the exact etiological relations have not been established.

Periodontal disease is a subclinical and persistent infection source which induces the systemic inflammatory reactions and increases the risk of preeclampsia. It is believed that the results will set light to the etiology of preeclampsia and will help to develop strategies to prevent the disease.
