Abstract

This article discusses the importance of oral health assessment in women of reproductive age during preconception planning, the negative impact of oral diseases on reproductive health, and modern diagnostic approaches. Periodontal disease, dental caries, and stomatitis are identified as potential risk factors for pregnancy complications. Contemporary diagnostic strategies play a crucial role in minimizing perinatal risks.
