We could suggest that preterm birth is a multifactorial condition and the role of periodontitis and the periodontopathogens itself is not sufficient to trigger the preterm birth. There are factors such as infectious processes and diagnostic criteria for periodontitis that could be responsible for controversial results.
Elevated protein N-linked Hcy concentrations, indicating enhanced protein homocysteinylation in vivo, characterize patients with recurrent VTE and this phenomenon is associated with enhanced inflammatory state.
