Zusammenfassung
Pregnancy is a dynamic state of physiological changes that affect the patient's health, perceptions and interactions with the environment. A pregnant woman requires various forms of support throughout this time, such as medical monitoring or intervention, preventive care, and physical and emotional assistance. The dental care of pregnant patients requires special attention, delaying certain therapeutic procedures so that they coincide with the periods of pregnancy devoted to maturation versus organogenesis. Applying the basics of preventive dentistry at the primary level will broaden the scope of pre- and postnatal care. This article reviews some of the physiological changes and oral pathologies which are associated with pregnancy, and how these alterations can affect the oral health of the patient.
