title: [Old and new aspects of gingivitis in pregnancy].
abstract: The relation of pregnancy and periodontal status has been reviewed. The way by which sex hormones influence periodontal tissues is that they alter the inflammatory response of the gingiva to local irritants i.e. dental plaque. The therapeutic procedure of pregnancy gingivitis is described in this paper. The presentation of four cases from patients with pregnancy gingivitis were shown for better understanding discussion.
