This study focused on the Miscarriage-(M) compared to the Normal Birth-(NB). We will divide 2 groups: 1). M - all variables were compared with NB and a T-Test. Only variables that show significant differences will be assessed as factors that play a role in miscarriage. The results: Tartar in M were 12 persons (92%), NB 132 (74%) RR=1,3. Cavities M 100% compared NB 69%RR=1,5. Purple-Plaques M 100% compared NB 85%RR=1,2. Purple and Blue Plaques M 100% compared NB 89% RR=1,1. Tartar Segments M 4,08 compared NB 3,07 RR=1,3. “”Severe Dysbiosis”” M 100% compared NB 74% RR=1,3. It was concluded that pregnant woman, related to oral health disorder indicate that the incidence of Miscarriage were higher between 1.1 times (up 10%) to 1.5 times (up 50%).
