Abstract

Background: Despite recommendations from guidelines and institutions, dental care utilization during pregnancy remains uncommon. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of poor dental care during pregnancy in Razavi Khorasan.

Materials and methods: A population-based, cross-sectional study was carried out randomly on 670 mothers in 2022. Dental care utilization, oral health, and reasons for dental care usage were measured by a reliable and validated questionnaire. The data collection included information about parents, pregnancy, oral health, and dental care. Predictors associated with barriers to receiving dental care were identified and reported as Odds Ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals. For statistical analysis, Stata14 software was also used.

Results: In general, 80.89% of mothers did not visit the dentist during pregnancy, 3.73% of them brushed and flossed twice or more a day, and 8.66% of them received dental care twice or more a year. Mothers with higher education received more dental care during pregnancy (OR = 3.42 (1.06, 11.07); p = 0.03). Nevertheless, mothers who had adhered to yearly dental care received less dental care during pregnancy (OR = 0.36 (0.17; 0.74); p = 0.00). Based on information about pregnancy history, dental care was less likely to be considered important during pregnancy, when there was multiparity and short pregnancy distances (OR = 0.39 (0.16; 0.96); p = 0.04).

Conclusions: Results of this study showed that awareness among pregnant women and healthcare providers about the importance of oral healthcare during pregnancy was very poor and the consequences of neglecting it were often underestimated, especially during crises and epidemics.

伊朗呼罗珊省孕妇使用牙科服务的影响因素
背景:尽管有指南和机构的建议,在怀孕期间利用牙科保健仍然不常见。本研究旨在调查拉扎维呼罗珊怀孕期间牙齿护理不良的患病率及其相关因素。材料与方法:于2022年随机对670名母亲进行了一项基于人群的横断面研究。通过一份可靠且有效的问卷调查来测量牙科保健的使用、口腔健康和牙科保健使用的原因。收集的数据包括父母、怀孕、口腔健康和牙齿护理等信息。确定与接受牙科保健障碍相关的预测因素,并以比值比(ORs)和置信区间报告。采用Stata14软件进行统计分析。结果:总体而言,80.89%的母亲孕期未去看牙医,3.73%的母亲每天刷牙和使用牙线2次及以上,8.66%的母亲每年接受2次及以上牙科护理。学历越高的母亲在孕期接受的牙科护理越多(OR = 3.42 (1.06, 11.07);P = 0.03)。然而,坚持每年进行牙科护理的母亲在怀孕期间接受的牙科护理较少(OR = 0.36 (0.17;0.74);P = 0.00)。根据妊娠史信息,当多胎和妊娠距离较短时,牙科保健在妊娠期间不太可能被认为是重要的(OR = 0.39 (0.16;0.96);P = 0.04)。结论:本研究结果表明,孕妇和卫生保健提供者对怀孕期间口腔保健重要性的认识非常差,忽视口腔保健的后果往往被低估,特别是在危机和流行病期间。
