Oral health protection and restorative approaches in the puerperal period.

Abstract

There is a growing need for dental treatments in women during the puerperal period as a consequence of hormonal and physiological changes that occur. There are effective methods that dentists can apply while treating patients in the puerperal period and while ensuring the maintenance of treatment. The framework of these methods covers a wide range of subjects, from the examination and diagnosis process of the dentist to the treatment protocols and the oral hygiene motivation of the patient. This review focuses on restorative treatment protocols that dentists would apply to patients in the puerperal period and the maintenance of these treatments.
