Allocation to groups was based on the day of visit (even\/odd days). In addition to routine prenatal care, the intervention group received an individual education session of approximately 60\u2009min with a brochure, and the control group received routine care only. Knowledge, attitude, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) indices were measured at baseline and 3 months later. Statistical analysis was performed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 240 enrolled participants, 200 (100 per group) provided complete follow\u2010up data. Baseline characteristics and oral health indices were comparable between groups. At 3 months, the intervention group demonstrated improved knowledge and attitude, lower PI, and modest improvement in GI. In the control group, knowledge and attitude changed little, GI worsened, and PI remained largely unchanged. DMFT increased in both groups over the 3\u2010month period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Short\u2010term, structured oral health education with a brochure can improve knowledge and attitude of pregnant women in the short term and improve plaque and gingivitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cre2.70357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,15]],"date-time":"2026-04-15T18:49:16Z","timestamp":1776278956000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effect of an Oral Health Education Program on Knowledge, Attitude, and Clinical Oral Health Indices in Pregnant Women in Urmia, Iran: A Nonrandomized Controlled Intervention Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9244-9459","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyyed Amir","family":"Seyyedi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases School of Dentistry, Urmia University of Medical Sciences Urmia Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zohreh","family":"Dalirsani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Mashhad Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Bahadori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Urmia University of Medical Sciences Urmia Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nava","family":"Askari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee, Urmia University of Medical Sciences Urmia Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohadese","family":"Maleki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee, Urmia University of Medical Sciences Urmia Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1614-4424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Reza Ghorbani","family":"Afkhami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee, Urmia University of Medical Sciences Urmia Iran"},{"name":"Research Assistant Urmia University of Medical Sciences Urmia Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2023-080033"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/srmjrds.srmjrds_36_25"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-020-01076-9"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","first-page":"197","article-title":"Correlation Among Periodontal Health Status, Maternal Age and Pre\u2010Term Low Birth Weight","volume":"29","author":"Capasso F.","year":"2016","journal-title":"American Journal of Dentistry"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5005\/jp-journals-10024-2049"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdent.2022.104253"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/odi.70076"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Committee Opinion No. 569. \u201c: Oral Health Care During Pregnancy and Through the Lifespan.
