Introduction: Pregnant women are a group that is vulnerable to dental and oral disease. Recent research (2020) in
the 65 pregnant women has proven that the DMF-T index with low criteria has a 43.08% and periodontal pocket 4-
5mm with a 63.08%. This will have a negative impact on the health of both mother and baby. Sociodemography is
one of the factors that influence the behaviour of pregnant women in taking oral health measures. Aim: The purpose
of this study was to determine the determinants of dental and oral disease in pregnant women from a sociodemographic
aspect. Methods: The data collection method used literature reviews obtained from 4 database : Google scholar,
ProQuest, PubMed, and Science Direct. In this study, journals were filtered based on the last 5 years since their
publication (2015-2020). Results: The literature review of 11 journals found that there is a significant corelation
between the incidence of dental and oral disease in pregnant women and the aspect of sociodemography ( age,
gestational age, educational level, and income ) as a risk factors.
