Data collection consisted of clinical examinations and general questionnaires concerning oral hygiene habits and recent dental visits of pregnant and non-pregnant women. Prevalence and severity of caries was determined by the CAST index and the CAST severity score. Permission for this study was granted by the National Research Ethics Commission of Brazil. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In total, 67 pregnant women were included (mean age (SD) 25.5\u2009\u00b1\u20095.4 years) and 79 non-pregnant women (26.0\u2009\u00b1\u20095.3 years). Mean number of teeth with untreated caries (CAST 4\u20137) among pregnant women was significantly lower (1.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.8) compared to non-pregnant women (2.7\u2009\u00b1\u20094.0; Mann-Whitney test, p\u2009=\u20090.027). In both groups, 40\u201360% were in need of curative treatment. There was no significant difference between the two groups in frequency of dental visits (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05), but pregnant women brushed their teeth more often (Mann-Whitney test, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pregnant women in the state of Rio de Janeiro have fewer untreated caries and less severe dental caries compared to non-pregnant women. Still, half of all women in this study are in need of curative treatment for at least one tooth.
