Abstract: (368 Views)
Aims: A pregnancy tumor, also known as pyogenic granuloma, is a reactive exophytic lesion that occurs in the oral cavity due to an intensified hyperplastic response in a localized area during pregnancy. These lesions can cause bleeding, pain, discomfort, and difficulties in eating, particularly when they are larger. This can lead to inadequate nutrition for the mother and hinder proper fetal development. This study aimed to examine the frequency of pregnancy tumors and associated factors among pregnant women at Al-Zahra Hospital in Rasht, Iran.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study included 707 pregnant women referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in Rasht from 2022 to 2023. After collecting demographic and clinical information, intraoral examinations were conducted using a mouth mirror, probe, and tongue depressor. Data were analyzed by SPSS 28 using the independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Fisher’s exact test, at a significance level of p-value≤0.05.
Findings: The prevalence of pregnancy tumors among pregnant women was 0.8%. There was a significant relationship between the frequency of pregnancy tumors and oral hygiene indices, including the plaque index and gingival inflammation. Gingival inflammation (p=0.011), the number of quadrants with gingival inflammation (p<0.001), and the mean plaque index (p<0.001) were significantly higher in individuals with pregnancy tumors compared to the overall average.
Conclusion: The prevalence of pregnancy tumors among pregnant women is 0.8%.
