    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Dental Public Health
    • Microbiology

    Context:

    • Pregnancy involves significant physiological changes that can impact oral health.
    • Existing epidemiological data on pregnancy and dental caries is limited and inconclusive.
    • Understanding the interplay between maternal health and oral disease is crucial.

    Purpose:

    • To review the current evidence correlating pregnancy with dental caries.
    • To identify and discuss potential etiological factors for caries during pregnancy.
    • To emphasize the importance of specialized dental care for pregnant individuals.

    Summary:

    • Epidemiological data on pregnancy and dental caries is scarce and contradictory.
    • Potential causes include salivary changes, vomiting, poor oral hygiene, and diet.
    • Neglected oral hygiene and nutritional shifts are considered primary contributors.
    • Pregnancy necessitates increased dental care and specific treatment protocols.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the need for comprehensive oral health management in pregnant women.
    • Underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving dentists.
    • Suggests the development of protocols to address pregnant patients' dental needs.
