“…A previous study showed a definite correlation between pregnancy and dental caries, and that pregnant women are at higher risk of caries in the third trimester of pregnancy [8]. The main goal of dental care during pregnancy is to maintain a healthy oral cavity in pregnant women by controlling plaque through brushing, flossing and professional prophylaxis, including scaling, root planing and polishing [9].…”

Objective: To evaluate oral health literacy among pregnant women in Kerman, Iran. Material and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 169 pregnant women referring to government institute. Data were collected by demographic profile (including age, number of children, educational level, dental attendance before pregnancy and economic status), 17-item oral health literacy questionnaire consisting of four domains (including reading comprehension, numeracy, listening, and decision-making skills), self-assessment oral health status, DMFT index and oral health behavior. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 21 software using ANOVA and Chi-square tests at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 27.92 ± 5.25 years, 38.2% of them had bachelor's degree, 35.8% had dental attendance before pregnancy and 29.1% brushed daily their teeth twice or more. Dentists were the most frequent source of oral health information. Moreover, 60.0% believed their oral health was to be moderate, and 59.4% had inadequate oral health literacy. There was also a significant correlation between educational level, monthly income and dental attendance before pregnancy. Conclusion: Our results showed inadequate oral health literacy among pregnant women, highlighting the necessity of dental consultation before pregnancy.

Pregnancy is a transient physiological state which brings about different hormonal changes in a woman's body. These effects are generalized and there are various oral changes as well. There are a number of especially important alterations in the periodontal conditions within the oral cavity. These changes have important implications as they have been known to cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. Better knowledge about these scenarios among health care professionals and women would go a long way toward avoiding or minimizing these adverse outcomes. Health education is an important tool in creating awareness among pregnant women regarding improvement of their oral health. Awareness among the health professionals and good inter-departmental collaboration would help toward a more efficient treatment of these pregnancy related conditions.

“…Penurunan bikarbonat dalam saliva mengakibatkan terjadinya penurunan pH saliva karena bikarbonat merupakan komposisi saliva yang berperan dalam sistem buffer saliva. 10 Kadar hormon progesteron sesaat sebelum melahirkan mencapai 1100 pg/ml dan turun menjadi 30 pg/ml selama beberapa minggu masa postpartum. 14 Hal ini berarti pH saliva tidak langsung naik setelah melahirkan, melainkan naik secara bertahap selama masa postpartum sesuai dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Ozturk et al 15 Kadar hCG yang meningkat dapat merangsang terjadinya mual dan muntah.…”

Saliva merupakan cairan mulut yang terdiri atas komponen organik dan anorganik dan berperan penting dalam lingkungan rongga mulut. Kehamilan dapat mempengaruhi saliva, salah satunya berpengaruh pada pH saliva. Wanita hamil biasanya mengeluhkan mulut terasa asam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pH saliva antara wanita hamil dan tidak hamil di Puskesmas Jatinangor. Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat observasi dengan desain analitik. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 30 wanita hamil dan 30 wanita tidak hamil yang dipilih dengan metode purposive sampling yang berada di Puskesmas Jatinangor. Unstimulated saliva dikumpulkan untuk menentukan nilai pH saliva. Data dianalisis dengan independent two sample t-test dengan α = 0,05. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai signifikansi 0,000 (p<0,01). pH saliva wanita hamil lebih rendah daripada pH saliva wanita tidak hamil dengan rata-rata pH saliva wanita hamil 6,519 dan rata-rata pH saliva wanita tidak hamil 7,192. Penurunan pH saliva terjadi karena peningkatan kadar hormon progesteron yang menyebabkan penurunan konsentrasi ion bikarbonat (HCO 3-), dan peningkatan enzim amilase, serta seringnya wanita hamil mengonsumsi makanan manis dan/atau asam. Simpulan: Terdapat perbedaan pH saliva antara wanita hamil dan tidak hamil, dimana pH saliva wanita hamil lebih rendah daripada pH saliva wanita tidak hamil.
