ABSTRACT

Background: pregnancy can affect the future mother’s oral health; hence, determining the oral health status of pregnant women is a priority for dental services.
Objective: to determine the oral health status of pregnant women served by the "Elpidio Gómez" family doctor-and-nurse office in Palmira from January to December 2013.
Methods: a case series study was conducted in a universe of 41 patients aged 15 to 59 years treated at the consultation. The variables analyzed were age, level of knowledge, epidemiological classification by oral health, risk factors and inflammatory processes in the tissues surrounding the teeth. Data was collected through surveys of oral health knowledge with the informed consent of the patient and the institution.
Results: the 19-34 age group predominated. The patients’ oral health knowledge was assessed as fair. Sick individuals prevailed. The most common risk factor was improper tooth brushing. Chronic edematous gingivitis predominated, particularly in patients aged 15 to 18. The DMFT index increased with age. Need for partial denture was more frequent in those aged 19-34 years.
Conclusion: oral health status of pregnant women was considered poor since they missed consultation, downplaying their dental care. Consequently, the strategies to increase health knowledge must be reevaluated and regular monitoring through consultation and home visits must be conducted.
