“…In the present study, the findings of model 2 and model 3 showed that women with ≥4 pregnancies had higher DMFT than other women, which is in line with the findings of the study of Gorji et al (2021) in Mazandaran which showed that the average DMFT index in women increases with increasing number of pregnancies [ 4 ]. However, they did not assess the frequency of tooth brushing as a confounding factor in the analysis.…”

“…The relationship between DMFT and age at first pregnancy is controversial. In the study of Gorji et al (2021) no significant relationship was reported between the age at first pregnancy and DMFT index [ 4 ]. This was consistent with the findings of our study.…”

“…Decayed teeth are prevalent among Iranian pregnant women [ 3 ]. The results of Persian cohort study in Mazandaran (Tabari cohort), showed that the rate of DMFT index increases with increasing the number of pregnancies [ 4 ]. In American women, there was no significant relationship between the number of children and the sum of filled and decayed surfaces.…”

“…In one study, the women who had their first childbirth at a young age, had significantly higher dental caries than other women [ 6 ]. However, in another study, age at the first pregnancy had no significant relationship with DMFT index [ 4 ]. Menopause indicates the end of a women’s reproductive stage in life and the start of a period of decreased estrogen [ 7 ].…”

Background Hormonal changes in women throughout life might affect the oral health. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and reproductive history. Methods The present cross-sectional study was performed using data of Azar Cohort Study conducted in 2014, in Shabestar city, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. In the present study, the data of all 8294 women from the enrollment phase of the Azar cohort were included. All available data related on the variables of reproductive history (including age at the onset of menstruation, age of onset of menopause, age of first pregnancy, and frequency of pregnancy), age at interview, educational level, socioeconomic status, frequency of tooth brushing, chronic diseases, body mass index and DMFT were extracted. Negative binomial regression with loglink was used to analyze the relationship between variables. Three regression models have been applied to adjust the effect of confounding variables. Model 1 adjusted for education, socio-economic status, age, chronic diseases, body mass index and frequency of tooth brushing. Model 2 adjusted for education, socioeconomic status, age, chronic diseases and body mass index. Model 3 adjusted for education, socio-economic status and age. Results The mean DMFT of 8294 women was 20.99 ± 8.95. In model 1, there was no significant relationship between DMFT and frequency of pregnancy. However, model 2 and 3 showed that in women who had four or more pregnancies, the DMFT rate was significantly higher than those who did not have a history of pregnancy (P = 0.02, P = 0.04). Age at the onset of menopause, age at the onset of menstruation and age of first pregnancy had no significant relationship with DMFT in the models. Brushing less than once a day and increasing age at interview had significant relationship with DMFT in the models (P < 0.001). Conclusion Despite hormonal changes through the life, the history of reproductive showed no significant relationship with women’s DMFT. Oral health education for women is an important step in promoting oral health and it is necessary to pay special attention to preventive programs in oral health policy for women specially with increasing the age.

“…Dental caries and gingivitis in pregnant occurred 1.97 times more frequently [ 6 ]. The mean DMFT index in women with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and more than six pregnancies was obtained at 12.74 ± 7.11, 13.09 ± 7.06, 14.80 ± 7.81, 17.07 ± 8.11, 19.82 ± 9.02, 22.89 ± 8.98, and 26.17 ± 8.01, respectively, and the DMFT index increased by 34% for each unit increase in the number of pregnancies [ 7 ]. In Chinese pregnant women, the rates of tooth decay, periodontal health, mass detection, shallow periodontal pocket, deep periodontal pocket, regular oral examination, correct brushing, DMFT index, and caries filling ratio were 69.8%, 1.8%, 95.6%, 51.1%, 4.9%, 22.8%, 49.6%, 2.27%, and 45.4%, respectively.…”

Background Pregnancy is a transient physiological condition that causes adverse oral and dental consequences. The present study aimed to determine the effect of a training intervention based on the theory of planned behavior on oral and dental behaviors in pregnant women. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 140 pregnant women (70 in the intervention group and 70 in the control group) supported by comprehensive health centers on the outskirts of Shiraz, Iran, in 2019–2020. The sampling was performed in each center by a simple random method. The tool included a demographic characteristics questionnaire, a questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior, a self-care behavior questionnaire, and checklists for recording DMFT(Decayed, Missing due to caries, and Filled Teeth(DMFT)) and dental plaque indices. The questionnaires were completed before and 3 months after the intervention by both groups. The intervention group received six 50-min training sessions. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22, the chi-squared test, independent t-test, paired t-test, and descriptive statistics (p < 0.05). Results The mean ages of the intervention and control groups were 32.28 ± 6.14 and 31.84 ± 6.71, respectively. The results showed that the average scores of all constructs of the theory of planned behavior, dental plaque indices (PI), and MDFT in the intervention group significantly changed after the intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion According to the results, training based on the theory of planned behavior was effective on dental and oral health behaviors in pregnant women and improved the clinical results of their self-care behaviors. Therefore, training sessions will increase the knowledge of pregnant women, and providing timely consultations and examinations can be helpful and effective in developing oral and dental health behaviors in pregnant women.

Latar belakang: wanita yang sedang hamil lebih rentan terhadap penyakit periodontal dan karies gigi yang nantinya akan mempengaruhi status gizi mereka. Kebiasaan oral hygiene dan pola makan ibu hamil juga berkaitan erat dengan penyakit periodontal dan karies gigi. Tujuan: mengetahui gambaran status kesehatan periodontal dan karies gigi ibu hamil di Kabupaten Pandeglang dan menganalisis hubungannya dengan status gizi mereka. Metode: penelitian analitik crosssectional dengan 89 responden ibu hamil di wilayah Kabupaten Pandeglang, provinsi Banten usia 17-45 tahun disurvey dan diperiksa menggunakan kuesioner untuk mengetahui kebiasan oral hygiene, pola diet makanan dan sosiodemografi. Pemeriksaan rongga mulut dengan Modified Gingival Index (MGI) dan Decay Missing Filling Teeth (DMFT) serta dilakukan pengukuran Body Mass Index (BMI) dan Lingkar Lengan Atas (LILA). Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah uji non parametrik dan uji korelasi dengan SPSS. Hasil: prevalensi subyek yang memiliki inflamasi berat adalah 8% (7 responden) dan paling banyak ibu hamil mengalami 56% (50 responden) sedangkan untuk tingkat karies gigi tinggi adalah 9% (8 responden) dan paling banyak mengalami tingkat karies sedang yaitu 29,2% (26 responden). Hasil pemeriksaan BMI yaitu paling sedikit responden memiliki kategori kurus sebanyak 4 responden (4,5%), dan paling banyak pada kategori normal sebanyak 28 responden (31,5%). Hasil uji Non Parametrik menunjukkan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara konsumsi buah dan sayur dengan kejadian MGI (p 0,05) dan terdapat korelasi antara skor BMI dan Skor LILA. Kesimpulan: tingkat inflamasi gusi ibu hamil paling banyak adalah inflamasi ringan (56%) dan tingkat karies gigi sangat rendah (37%). Skor MGI dan DMFT tidak berhubungan dengan BMI dan LILA pada responden ibu hamil dalam penelitian ini.
