“…It was found that about 88% of the participants had gingivitis during pregnancy. This number is quite similar to another study showing that 72% of Indian pregnant women have gingivitis [ 22 ]. It might be that the current study and the Indian study collected data among pregnant women who have low education and are daily farmers/employers.…”

Background Oral healthcare behavior leads to oral health status. Factors associated with oral healthcare behavior might affect oral hygiene in pregnant women, who are at high risk for gingivitis and dental caries. This study aimed to explore factors associated with oral healthcare behaviors during pregnancy among pregnant women in a northeastern province of Thailand. Method A total of 405 pregnant women who attended antenatal care clinics at one of the government hospitals in the province were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study. Dentists in the hospitals measured pregnant women’s gingivitis and dental calculus status using mouth mirrors and explorers. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain variables of interest. Linear regression analysis, Beta and 95% confidence interval (CI) were applied. Results The majority were 20–24 years old (33.6%). Most of the participants had received upper secondary education (37.6%). Majority had gingivitis (88.1%) and dental calculus (88.6%). The findings revealed that age (Beta = -0.129, 95%CI = -0.269, -0.016), educational level (Beta = 0.118, 95% CI = 0.110, 0.183), and oral health literacy (Beta = 0.283, 95% CI = 0.156, 0.319) were statistically significant factors associated with oral healthcare behaviors. Conclusion Younger pregnant women had better oral healthcare behaviors than older pregnant women and pregnant women had better oral healthcare behaviors due to higher educational levels and oral health literacy. Oral health promotion should be improved through oral health literacy, and interventions should be added to improve oral care skills particularly in older pregnant women as they are at a greater risk for poor oral healthcare behaviors.

“…Lindsay et al (2017) in their study point out that stress due to possible job loss affects the health habits, attitudes and behaviors of pregnant women (less frequent brushing of teeth, increased cigarette consumption), causing a decrease in salivation, which accelerates the progression of caries and periodontal disease and tooth loss. An Indian study found more dental caries (56.2%) and gingivitis (59.6%) in pregnant women-housewives (Ranka et al, 2018). In Japan, patients finance only 10-30% of the cost of dental treatment, and yet occasionally employed pregnant women do not use dental care for fear that they may be fired due to absence from work (Zaitsu et al, 2018).…”

Background: Pregnancy increases the risk of developing oral diseases and can lead to tooth loss. The aim of our study is to determine the influence of demographic factors, social status, attitudes, habits, and behaviors related to diet and oral hygiene, that may result in tooth loss in postpartum women. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in General Hospitals and Clinics for gynecology and obstetrics in the territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Data on attitudes, habits and behaviors related to diet and oral hygiene that may result in tooth loss were obtained by surveying postpartum women on the day of discharge. Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis was used to study the relationship between associated factors and the tooth loss using CR and a 95% confidence interval. Values p <0.05. was considered statistically significant. Results: Our study included 4310 mothers with an average age of 27.31 years. Based on multivariate regression analysis, higher tooth loss was observed in: mothers over the age of 35 (CI=1.029-1.660; p=0.028), with low or no education (CI=1.388 -2.258; p<0.001), living alone (CI=1.126-3.728; p=0.019), who are of poor social status (CI=1.300-2,005; p<0.001), brush teeth for less than 2 minutes (CI=1.006-1.575; p=0.044),visit a dentist for dental treatment (CI=1.367-2.131; p<0.001), and consume cigarettes (CI=1.015-1.685; p=0.038). Conclusions: Our research has shown that sociodemographic factors, habits, attitudes and behaviors of postpartum women regarding oral hygiene and nutrition are directly related to tooth loss and can serve as a platform for adoption of special oral health promotion programs.

Los cambios hormonales que experimenta la mujer durante el embarazo pueden perjudicar su salud bucal, desencadenando una serie de alteraciones a nivel gingival lo que derivaría en la aparición de patologías bucales. El objetivo de esta revisión es determinar las principales patologías bucales que afectan a las mujeres embarazadas. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos de Scielo, PubMed, Google Scholar y Elsevier en busca de estudios de casos, ensayos clínicos, metanálisis, revisiones sistemáticas y revisiones de la literatura publicada en los últimos 10 años, empleando como palabras clave: ”patologías bucales”, “embarazadas”, “caries”, “gingivitis” y sus equivalentes en inglés, combinadas en las cadenas de búsqueda con los conectores booleanos AND y OR. Se obtuvieron un total de 59 artículos, después de la lectura y exclusión, la selección arrojó 40 artículos considerados suficientes para cumplir con los objetivos establecidos. La literatura reporta una evidente prevalencia mayoritaria de patologías bucales como caries, enfermedad periodontal, gingivitis, granuloma del embarazo y erosión dental. La caries y la gingivitis fueron las principales patologías orales que afectan a las mujeres embarazadas.
