Summary:The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of the dental status in relation to the vegetative and psycho-emotional changes in women in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Dental and clinical neurological examination was conducted to study psycho-emotional and vegetative status of 51 pregnant women aged 19-36 years, who were registered in the antenatal clinic of Poltava. The analysis of the relationship between dental indicators, vegetative and psycho-emotional status of women in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester of pregnancy are presented. Analysis of the results showed that in women in the 3rd trimester the index values of DMF and PMA grow. Despite the evidence that oral health worsens in the 3rd trimester good oral health is maintained. The vegetative function of the body and a high level of adaptive-compensatory capacity of the organism are maintained. The revealed changes of dental health, features of autonomic regulation and psycho-emotional status of pregnant women should be considered when planning dental preventive measures.
