A dental evaluation was performed using a flat oral mirror and blunt-tipped probe (World Health Organization, 2007). For diagnosis of the dental condition, the DMFT index was used. A negative binomial regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between social determinants and the DMFT index.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The results of this national study show a 59% prevalence of caries in this population.

The women\u2019s level of education is an important factor associated with dental caries and filled teeth, so the role of oral health education and dental check-ups are important.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Clinical relevance<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The findings of this study show the oral health situation of pregnant women, with a high prevalence of dental caries. This leads to the development and strengthening of oral health education strategies that empower pregnant women in their care. In addition, dental checkups during pregnancy should be implemented and reinforced to prevent and treat oral pathologies and thus prevent complications during this stage.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-023-03419-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,24]],"date-time":"2023-10-24T17:01:45Z","timestamp":1698166905000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Prevalence of dental caries in pregnant Colombian women and its associated factors"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1387-1935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliana","family":"Velosa-Porras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4320-695X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nelcy","family":"Rodr\u00edguez Malag\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"3419_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Ueno M, Ohara S, Inoue M, Tsugane S, Kawaguchi Y.
