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.

“…In another trial performed by Mishra et al [17], the link between female sex hormones, especially in gestation, and tooth mobility was confirmed. It was shown that the most substantial change in mobility occurred throughout the third trimester of pregnancy and most exclusively in the last month of gestation.…”

Background and Aim: Tooth mobility, which is prevalent among patients seeking dental healthcare services, happens when the tooth is reversibly displaced horizontally or vertically beyond its normal physiological limits. Tooth mobility is classified into 2 subgroups: localized and generalized. Generalized tooth mobility occurs when more than 2 teeth are mobile. In this review, the available studies regarding the common etiologies of generalized tooth mobility are discussed. Materials and Methods:In this review article, data were collected by reviewing the available articles published between 2011 to 2021 in national and international journals by searching the PubMed, PubMed Central, Medline, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and Embase databases using the key words "Tooth Mobility", "Tooth Movement" "Periodontal Disease", "Systemic Disease", and "Malignant Disease". Among the relevant articles, 51 were chosen. Results: It seems that numerous etiologies, which can be either physiological or pathological, can result in generalized tooth mobility. Conclusion: Since an optimal treatment outcome depends on accurate diagnosis, it is crucial for the dentists to be aware of the common etiologies of this condition.

“…The latter effect is of key importance for orthodontists and periodontologists, as the periodontium is made of—among others—the cortical plate of the alveolus with an adjoining scaffolding of cancellous bone trabeculae. Estrogen and progesterone receptors are also located in other periodontal components, namely, the gingiva and the periodontal ligaments [ 6 , 7 ], so it has already been proven that estrogen exerts a range of effects on tissues in the periodontium [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. By regulating the production of epithelial glycogen, it reduces the keratinization of the gingiva, ultimately decreasing the role of the epithelial barrier.…”

Background and Objectives: Progesterone and estrogen modify the bone metabolism directly related to the periodontium, this study aimed at answering the question whether fluctuations in the levels of these hormones or the use of their synthetic equivalents in modern contraceptives have a significant impact on the natural tooth mobility (TM) in its alveolus. Materials and Methods: Sixty healthy women who had never been pregnant and when interviewed reported either (1) having regular menstruations every 28–30 days or (2) taking oral two-phase two-ingredient hormonal contraceptives formed, respectively, groups M and S in the study. TM evaluated as the Periotest value (PTV) was checked in the menstruation, ovulation, and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle (group M) and on the days corresponding to the moment of the menstrual cycle in group S. Results: Although the PTV-s were within the limits of norm, the canines and the molars were always more stable than the other teeth. In group M, the TM was statistically comparable (p > 0.05) in the menstrual and ovulation phases, thus significantly increased (p < 0.001) in the luteal phase. The TM remained constant (p = 0.758) in all studies in group S. The results demonstrated that the canines and the molars in the luteal phase were significantly more mobile in group M than in group S (p < 0.001), although increased mobility of the teeth in group M affected the canines and the first molars to a significantly lesser degree than the other teeth. Conclusions: However, since women between 20 and 30 years old constitute the majority of ortho-dontic patients, possible determination of the optimum moment of force application in relation to the sex hormones cycle, namely, to its luteal phase, is clinically very promising.

Abstract: Pregnancy had a significant influence on tooth mobility. Highest value of tooth mobility was seen in the last month of pregnancy. The maximum severity of gingivitis was also seen during the third trimester of pregnancy.
