In parallel to the creation of a new field in general medicine called \"regenerative medicine,\" we call this field \"regenerative dentistry.\" While the problems of introducing regenerative therapies are substantial, the potential benefits to patients and the profession are equally ground-breaking.

Inclusion criteria included: (1) between the ages of 21-40; (2) in 12-40th week of pregnancy; and (3) spoke English. During the first visit, all subjects were asked to complete a pre-test (24 questions), watch a ten minute presentation and complete the post-test (24 questions).

The mean age for all 40 pregnant women was 26.88 (SD +/- 4.3) years and the mean number of weeks pregnant was 25.2 at the first visit. The mean overall correct scores for the pre-test was 12.9 (53.75%), post-test was 20.9 (87.08%) and follow-up test was 20.17 (84.05%).
