The relationship between the anti ‐Porphyromonas gingivalis immunoglobulin G subclass antibody and small for gestational age delivery: a longitudinal study in pregnant Japanese women

ConclusionLower anti ‐P. gingivalis IgG ‐1 amounts are related to TPL, while higher anti‐P. gingivalis IgG and IgG ‐4 are related with SGA in TPL. Further, greater colonisation ofP. gingivalis in plaque might increase the risk of SGA and can be useful in prediction of SGA in TPL.
