Data were collected during pregnancy and later during follow-ups conducted at 1 year, 7\u20138 years, 15\u201316 years and 33\u201335 years using questionnaires and clinical examinations. Oral health status and number of dental visits collected in the last follow-up were considered as dependent variables. The explanatory variables included personality traits, educational background, employment, annual income, and lifestyle choices. A recursive bivariate probit model was used to model oral health status (dental plaque, and dental caries) while considering dental care utilisation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Personality traits were associated with OHB (accumulation of dental plaque and regular dental visits).
