Abstract:   (630 Views)
Pregnancy is a critical stage in oral health of women. The storm of hormones in pregnancy usually cause gingival problems and tooth decay. On the other hand, poor oral health during pregnancy may lead to complications such as premature delivery and preeclampsia. However, while a routine dental care is necessary during pregnancy, drug therapy may be required in some cases such as pain control or management of dental procedures or oral infections. In a pregnant patient requiring dental care, the agents routinely prescribed should be evaluated for potential risks to the mother and/or fetus. On the other hand, many physiological changes occur dur­ing pregnancy to support the needs of the developing fetus and these changes can affect the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of drugs as well.
This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of dental drug therapy in pregnancy, including safety and recommendations for commonly used medications in dental practice. The physiological changes during pregnancy and their impact on oral health and drug therapy are discussed with an emphasize on dental therapeutic agents which can be selected in treatment of pregnant patients.
