de severidad de la gingivitis; todas las pacientes estudiadas tuvieron un Indice de Placa Blanda de Sillnes y Loe (IPB) menor o igual a 0.5 en el momento del examen gingival. Se encontró algún grado de gingivitis en todos los casos estudiados, sin embargo, la severidad fue menor en la altura que a nivel del mar. En ambas altitudes la severidad de gingivitis aumenta progresivamente con la edad gestacional, disminuyendo después del parto a niveles de gingivitis no menores a los determinados en el segundo trimestre gestacional.
