Description

Introduction Several governmental, dental and medical agendas have been published that state the importance of oral health and overall well being. The first Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health in America emphasized the importance of oral health to general health and well being. (1) The report discussed the emerging associations between oral health and systemic conditions and noted that chronic oral infections can be associated with diabetes, heart and lung diseases, stroke and preterm labor and low birth weight. (1) The United States Department of Health and Human Resource document, Healthy People 2010, outlines a plan for disease prevention and health promotion, including dental health. (2) A goal of Healthy People 2010 is to improve the health and well being of women, infants and children. Among other conditions, low birth weight and prematurity are indicated as major concerns in the United States. (2) The 2003 Surgeon General's National Call to Action reflects the work of public and private sectors working collaboratively to achieve the goals of oral health and general health and well being of all Americans. (3) In addition, the American Dental Hygienists' Association's National Dental Hygiene Research Agenda, updated in 2007, has emphasized the need for investigation regarding how dental hygienists are utilizing emerging science to reduce risk in susceptible patients. (4) These documents support the need for increased awareness among health care professionals and patients about the risk factors associated with periodontal disease and other systemic conditions. The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a relationship between nurse practitioners (NP) and certified nurse midwives (CNM) concerning knowledge, opinions and practice behaviors regarding periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
