Abstract: Risk factors of periodontal diseases and pathological pregnancy include low education and negative emotional factors.

Aim: Evaluation of the correlation between the periodontal status and the level of education between women in pathological and physiological pregnancy. Evaluation of interrelations between education and sense of security in the two groups of women.

Material and methods: Group I comprised 190 women in pathological pregnancy, while group II was composed of 120 women in physiological pregnancy. Age, education and course of pregnancy were taken into account during the study. Moreover, the patients filled out a Questionnaire on the Sense of Security. The following values were assessed during a physical examination: OHI, SBI, PDI and CPITN.

Results: Higher values of SBI, PDI and TN were recorded in the women in pathological pregnancy as compared to the women in physiological pregnancy with the same level of education. Average PB levels in the women from group I were lower than in the women in group II with the same level of education.

Conclusions: Deteriorated condition of the periodontium is observed in the women in endangered pregnancy, despite the absence of significant differences in the level of oral hygiene as compared to the women in physiological pregnancy with the same education. A higher level of education in the women with pathological and physiological pregnancy is accompanied by a higher sense of security. The sense of security is lower in the women in endangered pregnancy than in the women in physiological pregnancy with the same level of education.
