Abstract

A experimental community intervention study was undertaken in the municipality of
Florida, Camagüey, from December 2005 to February 2007. 21 pregnant women
were included in the study. They answered a questionnaire that collected all the
information necessary to relate the affectation by gingival inflammation to oral
hygiene and previous pregnancy as risk factors between the first and the third
semester of gestation in order to confirm changes. The intervention consisted in the
carrying out of activities of prevention, health promotion and treatment of General
Comprehensive Stomatology. Gingival inflammation was observed in a great
number of pregnant women. A decrease of the affectations was detected on the
third trimester of pregnancy. There was a relation between the reduction of gingival
inflammation and the favourable changes in oral hygiene as pregnancy progressed.
The most affected expectants were those with previous pregnancy as risk factor.
