Abstract

Razdoblje trudnoće je jedinstveno fiziološko stanje u životu žene tijekom kojeg njezino tijelo prolazi kroz brojne promjene uzrokovane povišenjem razine gestacijskih hormona i rastom ploda. Dio tih promjena manifestira se i u usnoj šupljini stoga je njihovo poznavanje i razumijevanje ključno za oralno, a neizravno i za sveobuhvatno zdravlje majke i djeteta.
Uloga stomatologa je da žene na vrijeme informira o očekivanim oralnim promjenama u trudnoći poput gingivitisa, parodontitisa, epulisa, povećane mobilnosti zuba i sklonosti karijesu, dentalnoj eroziji, itd. Veći dio tih promjena može se prevenirati ili uspješno kontrolirati pravovremenom edukacijom trudnice o važnosti provođenja dobre oralne higijene, pravilnoj prehrani i redovitim stomatološkim kontrolnim pregledima.
Većina stomatoloških zahvata može se sigurno provesti tijekom cijele trudnoće. Pri tome se sva hitna stanja obavljaju odmah, neovisno o stadiju trudnoće, dok se elektivne zahvate preporuča odgoditi do drugog tromjesečja kad su najsigurniji za majku i dijete. Iako trudnice nisu rizični pacijenti, trudnoća zahtijeva određeni stupanj modifikacije kako stomatoloških zahvata tako i dijagnostičkih postupaka te lijekova koji se koriste u stomatološkoj praksi.

Abstract (english)

Pregnancy is a unique physiological state in a woman's life during which her body undergoes numerous changes caused by increased levels of gestational hormones and fetal growth. Some of these changes manifest in the oral cavity, so knowing and understanding them is key to oral, and therefore the overall health, of the expecting mother and child. The dentist's role is to timely inform women about oral changes expected during pregnancy such as gingivitis, periodontitis, epulis, increased tooth mobility and risk of caries, dental erosion, etc. Many of these changes can be prevented or successfully controlled on time by educating pregnant patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene, proper nutrition and regular dental checkups. Most dental procedures can be carried out safely throughout the pregnancy. Thereby, emergencies should be treated immediately regardless of the pregnancy stage, whereas elective procedures are recommended to be postponed until the second trimester when it's safer for both the expecting mother and child. Although pregnant patients are not medically compromised, they require management modifications, not only in treatment but as well in diagnostic procedures and drug therapy used in dental practice.
