Methodology: A descriptive and observational study was carried out, the population and sample were 93 pregnant women who attended the dentistry consultation. Different risk factor affections were analysed. Each pregnant woman was surveyed by the WHO. The data were introduced in a data base presented in absolute and relative tables and contingency tables.
Results: the prevailing ages were 20-24, gingivitis as the most frequent dental affection followed by dental caries, deficient oral hygiene and a cariogenic diet were the prevailing risk factors. The level of knowledge of this population is evaluated as poor.
