AD “ CONFLICT, Page B1 IMPLANT TRIBUNE vaginal swabs were taken. Participants were followed for 12 months to see whether they had become pregnant. According to the results, P. gingivalis in the saliva was significantly more common among those who did not conceive than among those who did (8.3 percent com- pared with 2.1 percent). Levels of salivary and serum antibodies against the patho- gen were also significantly higher in the women who did not become pregnant. Furthermore, statistical analysis showed the finding was independent of other risk factors contributing to conception, such as age, socio-economic status, previous deliv- eries or clinical periodontal disease. “Our study does not answer the question on possible reasons for infertility but it shows that periodontal bacteria may have a systemic effect even in lower amounts, and even before clear clinical signs of gum disease can be seen,” said periodontist and lead author Dr. Susanna Paju. The study group was fairly homogenous regarding socio-economic status and gen- eral health. However, study limitations in- cluded a lack of information on the exact discontinuation date of contraception, the length of use of any birth control methods and whether delayed conception was at- tributable to the participants or to their spouses. The study, titled “Porphyromonas gin- givalis may interfere with conception in women”, was published online in June in the Journal of Oral Microbiology.
