Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Early Periodontal Therapy  Pregnant females would be given CPHC in the form of structured early periodontal therapy ( 10 weeks of gestation) . This includes Oral prophylaxis in the form of scaling and root planning. This may even require periodontal surgeries in few cases. For maintaining periodontal health following oral hygiene measures would be advised. 1. Brushing twice a day. 2. Use dental floss once a day. 3. Use chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily for15 days after the procedure, followed by a 15-day break, followed by a repeat treatment plan as prescribed by the specialist. 4. Use warm saline rinses two to three times each day.  
Comparator Agent  No Active Intervention.   The comparator arm in this study will include no active intervention except verbal oral hygiene instructions. Periodontal health assessment will be done at the time of enrolment and after delivery. Standard regular ANC visits will be done as per protocol. However, if these patients report any emergency dental problems, they would be given a standard of care.

Brief Summary  

Periodontal diseases (PD) are the most common chronic destructive inflammatory condition of supporting structure of teeth initiated by oral microflora located in biofilms, plaque and calculus1. Studies have shown access of periodontal pathogens to fetoplacental unit through transient bacteraemia or by causing immunological injury through metastatic inflammation or as a lipopolysaccharides reservoir.2

Research has advocated periodontitis as an independent risk factor leading to various adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) like IUGR, preterm labour and low-birth-weight(LBW) babies.3,4,5Recent systematic and Cochrane review confirmed6 this with low level of evidence due to variation in time and regimen of periodontal therapy and associated confounders demanding a well-designed randomized control trial.

            With very high PD prevalence and NHM statistics showing gruesome maternal and child health scenario; maintaining good periodontal health can be low-hanging fruit in reducing APOs. Already developed countries like Australia, USA, Canada, Europe have included oral health care in ANCs (consensus-based guidelines).

This study aims to draft and implement the effect of specifically designed Comprehensive periodontal health care (CPHC) including early structured periodontal therapy (>10 weeks of gestation) and novel oral health maintenance program. Sustainability of this novel oral health maintenance would be done through app-based nudging, using focused group discussions and group mentoring in the intervention arm. Finally, a log frame analysis would be used for improving the planning, implementing, managing, monitoring and evaluating CPHC.

This study may open the way for including CPHC as an integral part of the ANC regimen during pregnancy to improve pregnancy outcomes.
