The researchers aimed to determine the effects of oral-dental health of pregnant women on their pregnancy and fetus health. In this descriptive observational study, the researchers prospectively followed up 64 pregnant women three times, who were registered in two family health centers that were selected by using a simple random sampling method. As the follow-ups progressed, an increase was determined in the DMF-S (Decayed-Missing-Filled-Surface) index and DEBRIS (Caries Surface Distribution Form) scores in the areas observed ( p < 0.05). No significant relationship was found between the increased scores and the infant's birth length, weight, and birth week
