Abstract

Despite the importance of oral health during pregnancy and its consequences for mother and child, dental cleaning behaviour is ineffective among pregnant women; therefore, the prevalence of gingivitis is high in this group. The aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting dental cleaning behaviour among pregnant women with gingivitis.
