ABSTRACT

Introduction: pregnant women and mothers with children younger than one year are priority for dental care in Cuba.
Objective: to identify the knowledge on oral health of pregnant women and mothers with children under one year.
Method: an observational, descriptive and transversal study was carried out in Matanzas from 2010 to 2012. All pregnant mothers and children younger than one year were the universe. A nonrandom sample with the first 126 pregnant women and 126 mothers, who had come to childcare, was selected. All of them gave their informed consent. Survey of knowledge of the National Program for Comprehensive Stomatology Care was applied; also a brainstorming was used to identify favorable knowledge on oral health, in relation to four topics: dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth bud and malocclusions. Knowledge level was considered low (less than 70 points), average (between 71 and 89 points) and high (over 90 points). The data obtained were processed statistically; the percentage was used as a summary measure.
Results: among the favorable oral health knowledge were preventive measures of dental caries and periodontal diseases, such as brushing: pregnant women 85.7 %, and 95.2 % in mothers with children younger one year. Unfavorable knowledge were related to tooth bud with 96 % in pregnant women and 94.4 % in mothers with children younger than one year. Mothers with children younger than one year showed average level of knowledge (70.6 %), while pregnant women showed low (65.9 %) level.
Conclusions: mothers with children younger than one year showed average level of knowledge on oral health, and pregnant women showed low level. Knowledge of tooth bud, and malocclusions were insufficient, so these will be the main topics to develop in health promotion strategies for this population.
