The cause of preterm birth

In their study, researchers from the University of North Carolina have shown that women with chronic inflammation of the gums, there are seven times higher chance of premature birth, and that 18 percent of premature births in the United States caused by just such inflammation. It is believed that the immune system of the mother in the gums creates specific antibodies to protect against infection, but not these antibodies reduce blood flow to the placenta and cause contractions and premature labor.
