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 The popular be­lief, still existing today, that «each pregnancy costs the woman a tooth» is no longer valid considering conventional oral hygiene mea­sures and the fact that most pregnant women are very conscious of their nutrition (diet).
