DENTAL STATUS AND PREVENTION OF DENTAL DISEASES IN PREGNANT WOMEN
Keywords:
pregnancy, xylitol, prevention, early childhood caries.Abstract
Pregnant women have a high level of dental diseases and a high risk of infection with Str. mutans. Preventive measures reduce the risk of developing caries and periodontal diseases in pregnant women. The introduction of a xylitol-containing hygiene product into the preventive dental program leads to a significant decrease in Str. mutans in the saliva of pregnant women, which can help reduce the risk of developing caries at an early age in their children.
