| مستخلص: |
The article discusses a study on the impact of periodontal treatment for pregnant women on birth outcomes and hospital costs. It explains the cost saving benefit of a non-surgical periodontal treatment to pregnant women through reduction in expenses related to births and delaying gestational age. The authors recommend using cost efficient interventions over cost saving approaches. They conclude that such therapy does not remove the problem of preterm births. |
