Abstract

Although pregnancy is frequently viewed as a happy and eagerly awaited stage of a woman's life, it is not without difficulties as it involves a number key hormonal and physical changes. Among those changes that are commonly experienced during pregnancy are oral alterations. This calls for sufficient research on the frequency of those oral changes in various groups, their potential causes, their impact on pregnant women's quality of life, and the potential for salivary cortisol changes to affect the oral cavity.
