“…The probability of developing gingivitis is significantly higher in the third trimester than at the start of the pregnancy (p ≤ 0.001) [12]. Improved oral hygiene and appropriate periodontal therapy before or during the pregnancy can prevent gingivitis and periodontitis [12] and significantly reduce the stress level of pregnant women [10].…”

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the present oral health status of pregnant women depending on selected sociodemographic differences and deduce any resulting consequences for health prevention. Methods The participantsʼ data of relevance to the study such as age, school leaving qualification, migration background, smoking habits or last dentist visit were recorded using a questionnaire. The subsequent dental check-up concentrated on open carious lesions, any initiated root canal treatments and missing teeth. Finally, the Periodontal Screening Index was recorded to diagnose the presence of any gingivitis or periodontitis. The subsequent biometric evaluation comprised descriptive data analysis, χ2 test and logistical regression. Results The higher the school leaving qualification, the lower the probability that a pregnant woman smoked prior to pregnancy (OR 0.291; 95% CI 0.114 – 0.743) and that tartar was diagnosed (OR 0.424; 95% CI 0.185 – 0.973). Regular dentist visits (OR 4.026; 95% CI 1.613 – 10.049) increase with the attained school leaving qualification. There is a greater chance that women born in Germany taking part in the study were aware of dental risks in pregnancy (OR 2.652; 95% CI 1.285 – 5.472) and attended the dentist during pregnancy (OR 2.507; 95% CI 1.281 – 4.907). Conclusion The rate of awareness of the risks and consequences of pregnancy for oral health must be increased. The main aim for primary prophylaxis should be a reduction in the periodontal bacteria and caries of the mother and father.

“…Acredita-se que as alterações hormonais é que influenciem a suscetibilidade à gengivite. Além disso, a negligência da mulher em relação à sua saúde bucal na gestação, é geralmente o principal fator responsável e podem acarretar patologias bucais, como a doença periodontal 6,7 . Gravidez não é a responsável pelo aparecimento de lesões cariosas e nem pela perda de minerais dos dentes da mãe 7 .…”

There are many beliefs, taboos and myths about dental care in pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the collaborators' knowledge about oral changes and the need for dental treatment during pregnancy. METHODOLOGY: This was a cross-sectional study. Active female collaborators who worked at the educational institution in 2017 were included in the study. Collaborators who were absent from college at the time were excluded from the study. The data were collected through an interview through an individual questionnaire composed of objective questions that addressed the knowledge of female collaborators, performed by a single evaluator, then a descriptive analysis of the data was performed, presenting them with absolute values and percentages. RESULTS: Ninety-six female collaborators participated in the survey (response rate 88.9%). It was found that only 25% correctly answered all the questions. 58.3% answered that pregnancy caused problems in the teeth. The most cited problem was dental sensitivity. Among those who answered that some procedure could be performed, the most reported procedure was tooth cleaning (91.7%). CONCLUSION: It is possible for pregnant women to undergo dental treatments. Difficulties are still encountered in the dental care of pregnant women.

IntroductionThe prevalence of periodontal disease among Sri Lankan women in the reproductive age group is considerably high. The present study aimed to assess the oral hygiene status, gingival status, and the associated factors among pregnant women attending community Antenatal Clinics (ANC) in Sri Lanka, against the challenging sociopolitical backdrop.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted among 576 pregnant women attending community ANCs within a specific Medical Officer of Health area in Sri Lanka. The clinics were selected using a two‐stage cluster sampling method with probability proportionate to size technique. Pregnant women were recruited from each clinic using a systematic sampling method. Data was collected with an interviewer‐administered questionnaire and an oral health examination form.ResultsPoor oral hygiene was detected among over 60% of pregnant women. Moderate‐to‐severe gingivitis was seen among 23.3% of them. Nearly 67% of the participants demonstrated limited knowledge of periodontal diseases. Approximately, 67% of them were unemployed, and 32.5% had a monthly income of less than 40,000 Sri Lankan rupees. Regression analysis revealed that the trimester, socioeconomic factors, frequency of dental visits, recency of full mouth scaling, and knowledge of periodontal diseases predicted the oral hygiene status, and age, trimester, frequency of brushing, recency of full mouth scaling, and knowledge of periodontal diseases were significant predictors of gingival health. Particularly, individuals with a lower socioeconomic status experienced both poor oral hygiene and gingival health.ConclusionThe suboptimal oral hygiene and gingival health, limited access to dental care, and inadequate periodontal health knowledge, highlight an urgent need for interventions such as empowering young women through educational and employment initiatives.
