“…However, only 5% of the affected population had fillings, indicating that almost 95% had no dental treatment for some reason. Studies reveal that dentists are sometimes reluctant to treat pregnant women for various reasons, such as the fear of harming the fetus, fear of litigation or patient safety concern (14,25).…”

“…Children whose mothers have poor oral health are 5 times more likely to have oral health problems than children whose mothers have good oral health (13). Mothers are the main source of transmissible cariogenic bacteria to their children; it has been shown that Streptococcus mutans of mother and child are phenotypically and genotypically similar (14).…”

Good oral health is important in pregnancy but little is known about the oral health and knowledge and practices of pregnant Sudanese women. This cross-sectional study was conducted to address this gap. A sample of 420 pregnant women attending the prenatal clinic at Omdurman maternity hospital were interviewed and examined for caries and periodontal disease. The mean age of the women was 27.1 (SD 5.8) years, 52.4% had > primary school education and 7.1% were employed. Only 12% had a high level of oral health knowledge and 21.2% a positive attitude towards oral health. Most of the women (65.9%) had poor oral health practices; only 10.2% had visited a dentist during pregnancy. On clinical examination, 58.6% had healthy gums while 12.1% had bleeding gums and 22.9% had calculus. The mean decayed, missing and filled teeth value was 1.16 in the age group 16−19 years and 3.49 in age group ≥ 20 years. These findings suggest the need for oral health programmes as part of prenatal care for pregnant Sudanese women. RÉSUMÉ Une bonne santé bucco-dentaire est importante en période de grossesse, mais peu d'informations sont disponibles sur l'état de santé bucco-dentaire, les connaissances et les pratiques des femmes enceintes soudanaises en la matière. La présente étude transversale a été conduite afin de combler cette lacune. Un échantillon de 420 femmes enceintes de la clinique prénatale de la maternité de l'hôpital d'Omdourman ont été interrogées et examinées afin de déterminer si elles souffraient de caries et de parodontopathies. L'âge moyen des femmes étaient de 27,1 ans (ET 5,8) ; 52,4 % avaient suivi un enseignement primaire, et 7,1 % avaient un emploi. Seulement 12 % d'entre elles avaient une bonne connaissance de la santé bucco-dentaire, et 21,2 % démontraient une attitude positive en la matière. La majorité des femmes (65,9 %) avaient de mauvaises pratiques d'hygiène bucco-dentaire, et seulement 20 % s'étaient rendues chez un dentiste au cours de leur grossesse. À l'examen clinique, 58,6 % avaient des gencives saines, contre 12,1 % qui souffraient de saignements gingivaux et 22,9 % qui avaient du tartre dentaire. La moyenne de l'indice CAO (dent cariée, absente ou obturée) était de 1,16 pour le groupe d'âge des 16-19 ans, et de 3,49 pour le groupe d'âge des 20 ans et plus. Ces résultats laissent penser qu'il existe un besoin en programmes de santé bucco-dentaire dans le cadre des soins prénatals pour les femmes enceintes soudanaises. ‫درمان‬‫املتوسط‬ ‫لرشق‬ ‫الصحية‬ ‫املجلة‬ ‫العرشون‬ ‫و‬ ‫الثاين‬ ‫املجلد‬ ‫عرش‬ ‫احلادي‬ ‫العدد‬ 803

“…Various interventions using professional prophylaxis (Köhler and Andréen 1994), chlorhexidine and fluoride rinse (Brambilla et al 1998), and xylitol chewing gum Thorild et al 2003;Nakai et al 2010) have been demonstrated as effective for preventing or delaying mother-child transmission of MS. Motivational discussions with mothers also lowered the severity of caries in their children (Weinstein et al 2006;Harrison et al 2012). Therefore, early oral health care was emphasized to include dental preventive measures, ideally antenatal and postnatal, for the mother and child until the age of 3 (Meyer et al 2014). Such early intervention programs that include both antenatal and postnatal phases are effective to reduce ECC (Günay et al 1998;Gomez and Weber 2001) and to produce sustained improvement of oral health until young adulthood (Meyer et al 2014).…”

The first stage of early childhood caries (ECC) is infection by mutans streptococci, of which the primary infection source is the child's mother. Early intervention programs including antenatal and postnatal phases are effective for reducing ECC. This study was conducted to assess the respective effects of antenatal health care and postnatal care such as regular dental check-ups on reducing ECC among 3-year-old Japanese children. This nested case-control study of 155 three-year-old children (49.0% boys) was conducted at a dental clinic that provides collaborative health services with the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic, Okayama. Child characteristics and the mothers' antenatal data were collected retrospectively from the dental charts. They were divided into two groups: caries-free children (n = 77) and children without ECC (n = 78). Most of the children (81.9%) received regular check-ups with topical fluoride application. Most of the mothers reported morning sickness during pregnancy (81.3%), normal delivery (72.9%), and used antenatal health care (80.6%). Over half (55.5%) were primigravida. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidential interval (95% CI) were computed to assess the strength of association using logistic regression analysis. Receiving antenatal health care (AOR, 3.27; 95% CI,) and child's having regular check-ups (AOR, 3.42; 95% CI, 1.35-8.69) were significantly associated with caries-free status among three-year old children. For ECC prevention, antenatal health care is as effective as regular check-ups up to three years of age. The results of this retrospective study demonstrate that maternal health education during pregnancy is effective for ECC prevention.

ÖzetAmaç: "Gebelerin Ağız-Diş Sağlığının Geliştirilmesi ve Çürüksüz Çocuklar Programı"nın ilk aşamasının annelerin bilgi düzeylerindeki değişim aracılığıyla değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu eğitim müdahalesi çalışması İzmir-Bornova Belediyesi'nin Mevlana, Naldöken, Altındağ semtlerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu semtlerde yaşayan ve 2013 Nisan-Haziran aylarında gebe olan kadınların (n=289) %85.8'i (n=248) ilk aşamaya katılmıştır. 2014 yılı Şubat-Mart aylarındaki ikinci aşamaya %69.4'lük (172) katılım sağlanabilmiştir. Her iki aşamada da önce annelerin ağız-diş sağlığı bilgileri 12 önerme aracılığıyla ölçülmüş, dişleri muayene edilmiş, diş fırçalama tekniği öğretilmiş, grup eğitimi verilmiştir. Her bir önermenin birinci ve ikinci aşamada aldığı skorların ortalamaları bağımlı örneklerde işaretli sıra testi aracılığıyla karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 27.1±5.07 olan annelerin %20.3'ünün eğitimi ilkokulun altındadır, %26.2'sinin anadili Türkçe değildir, %26.2'sinin sosyal, %11.6'sının sağlık güvencesi yoktur. Gebelerin dişlerinin kalsiyum kaybı nedeniyle çürüdüğü şeklindeki yanlış önermenin skoru 3.90±0.89 iken, ikinci aşamada ancak 3.56±1.31'ya düşebilmiştir. Gebelikte dişeti hastalığı ve sonuçlarıyla ilgili doğru önermelerin skorları artmış, çürüğe yol açan davranışlarla ilgili yanlış önermelerin skorları azalmış, yeterlilik inancında anlamlı artış olmuştur. "Dişlerimin sağlıklı olması için yapılması gerekenleri yerine getiriyorum" önermesinin skoru istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir artış göstermemiştir. Sonuç: Program annelerin bilgi düzeylerini artırmış, ancak yanlış inanışlar ve davranış değişimi açısından yeterli sonuca ulaşılamamıştır. Sosyokültürel gelişmeyle birlikte olmayan, sadece eğitime dayalı müdahaleler ağız-diş sağlığında sınırlı bir değişim yaratabilmektedir.

Abstract: Prevention programs starting during pregnancy may establish an improved health behavior. Caries, periodontitis, and dietary complications in mother and child can be avoided by improving maternal oral health and by a tooth-friendly diet.
