Track 8: Dental Care During Pregnancy – Advancing Maternal Oral Health
Pregnancy is a transformative phase in a woman’s life, bringing significant physiological and hormonal changes that can directly affect oral health. Increased hormone levels, changes in diet, morning sickness, and altered immune responses can contribute to dental challenges such as pregnancy gingivitis, gum inflammation, enamel erosion, and heightened cavity risk. Recognizing the importance of oral healthcare during this crucial period, the 6th International Dental, Advanced Dentistry, Oral Health Conference & Exhibition introduces Track 8: Dental Care During Pregnancy as a dedicated platform for knowledge exchange and research discussions.
Why Dental Care During Pregnancy Matters
Many expectant mothers are unaware that oral health is closely linked to both maternal and fetal well-being. Untreated periodontal disease has been associated with complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and gestational complications. Routine dental check-ups, preventive care, and patient education can significantly improve pregnancy outcomes and overall maternal health.
Pregnancy can commonly lead to:
- Pregnancy Gingivitis – swollen, tender, and bleeding gums due to hormonal fluctuations
- Dental Erosion – caused by acid exposure from morning sickness
- Increased Plaque Accumulation – due to changes in oral microbiota and dietary habits
- Pregnancy Tumors (Pyogenic Granulomas) – benign gum growths caused by irritation and hormonal changes
- Dry Mouth & Bad Breath – common oral discomforts during pregnancy
These conditions highlight the importance of integrating dental care into prenatal healthcare routines.
Key Topics Under Track 8
This scientific track will focus on emerging research, preventive strategies, and evidence-based clinical practices in maternal oral healthcare, including:
- Oral health education for pregnant patients
- Periodontal disease and pregnancy outcomes
- Safe dental procedures across trimesters
- Hormonal effects on oral tissues
- Dental radiography safety protocols
- Use of local anesthesia and medications during pregnancy
- Management of morning sickness-related dental erosion
- Nutritional counseling for maternal oral health
- Postpartum oral healthcare strategies
- Interdisciplinary collaboration between dentists and obstetricians
Who Should Submit?
Researchers, dentists, gynecologists, obstetricians, dental hygienists, academicians, oral healthcare professionals, and postgraduate students are invited to contribute original research, case studies, reviews, and clinical findings related to maternal oral health.
