ABSTRACT
In pregnancy, it is necessary to pay particular attention to oral health, as inflammatory periodontal changes can occur due to the exceptional hormonal situation. The popular belief, still existing today, that «each pregnancy costs the woman a tooth¼ is no longer valid considering conventional oral hygiene measures and the fact that most pregnant women are very conscious of their nutrition (diet).
