Abstract
The impact of pregnancy on the oral organs has long been known. In particular, dental caries lesions and worsening of pre-existing caries in pregnant women can be considered a well-established fact. The frequency of dental caries and other dental diseases in pregnant women, attracting the attention of dentists, has led to the creation of a number of theories. These theories ascribed great importance to the increase of acid formation in the pregnant woman's organism and especially readily many researchers ascribe the development of dental caries in pregnant women to the acid reaction of saliva, which is thought to be characteristic of pregnant women.
