“…There are several models of risk estimation (Reis et al, 2010;Nisar, 2015, Featherstone et al, 2007Kaur et al, 2013), but one of the most used is the Cariogram of Brattall and Hänsel Peterson (Gómez Clavel, & Peña Castillo, 2014).

The use of the Cariogram, could contribute to implementing preventive measures to improve women’s health during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk to dental caries in pregnant women. The Cariogram presents the results of the five risk factors of caries, and it was observed that the patients have a 42% of chance to avoid new carious lesions and 58% could present lesions, which could be caused by 40% related to diet and bacteria. Conclusion: To date, existing studies are not sufficient to ultimately identify main caries risk factors associated with dental decay in pregnant women.

However, the literature is unclear about the exact role and fulfillment of the learning outcomes about oral health given by the mother. Objective: To review knowledge, attitude and practices of mothers regarding oral hygiene and dental caries among children. Methods: Original observational studies of any sort, both descriptive and analytical and any design were included. PRISMA guidelines were followed to search literature through free web search sources such as google scholar, PubMed, Web of Science and others and BOOLEAN search strategy was opted. Results: The total number of subjects included in 9 selected studies were 9,481. All studies reported that mother’s KAP as well as involvement in children’s oral hygiene and care is an important determinant to prevent risk of dental caries as well as to improve overall oral health. Conclusion: Mothers have a significant impact on oral health of children. Mother’s good knowledge, attitude and practices may help develop good oral hygiene of the children and may reduce risk of dental caries.
